    Hi all
    
    I am watching a solaris system that appears to be conducting ftp scans of 
    remote IPs. Looking at the traffic to and from our system I am seeing a 
    socks port (1080) connection immediately prior to each attempted ftp 
    connection.
    
    Does any one know of any expoits that use sockd to carry out ftp (or other) 
    scans?
    
    Mark.
