    Has any one else notice a huge increase in ftp scanning over the last
    few weeks ( esp the last 2)
    
    Normally I would expect to see 1 scan every few days, but in the last
    few weeks it has been several each night
    
    for example (this is from a host with no externally offered services)

    is this warez kiddies looking for open share or script kiddies looking
    for a vulnerable version of wuftp (or similar)?
