Re: [Full-Disclosure] Scan for IRC

[Harry Hoffman <hhoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use ngrep to look for signs of irc (i.e. PRIVMSG) instead of just 
looking for the ports irc (ususally, but not always) runs on.

something like: "ngrep -qitd eth0 'privmsg'" will probably get you much 
better results.
