Strange network probe activity

I have been receiving some interesting traffic across port 8000 and
3128 that I cannot identify the application making the probe:

I am wondering if it is a virus probe from MyDoom or system probing for
an exploit in WinAmp. THe PHP file can be downloaded from the
bidhill.com website.

Someone is looking for open proxy servers. The php scripts pipe
the results in a list for later usage.

Cheers,

Re: Strange network probe activity

Thanks, Chris. I am going to look at that PHP script again. The main
offenders look like they are launching probes from the Asia Pac net.

Again, thanks for your help.
