Shoutcast servers (used for streaming mp3s for such things as Internet 'radio stations') listen on ports 8000 to 8002. At the beginning of this month, a remote buffer overflow vulernability was announced for Shoutcast 1.8.9. The link is below: http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4934 Also, I have seen several proxies use port 8000 instead of 8080, so that may be what the parties responsible are looking for. Hope this helps.
