Hmmm, connects on port 8080, what are they looking for ?

Lately I get many connects on port tcp/8080 at home. Sounds like someone is looking for an open proxy?

It's simple to monitor the traffic with minimal unix tools (even without a gui):

while true; do netcat -l 8080 >> 8080.log; done&

tail -f 8080.log

==> 8080.log <==

Now sit back and watch the log.
