Hey, Seth.

Nicely done!  I hope you don't mind if I kibbitz a bit.  :)

I suspect this is also a proxy.  It's definitely been a bot in the past. 
  We see it scanning for TCP 445 (Win2K shares) on 2008-03-03 18:42:05 
UTC, connecting to a public IRC network as a bot on 2008-02-23 06:03:30 
UTC, joining storm on 2008-02-21 23:56:23 UTC, and doing a 
PhatBot/AgoBot speedtest on 2008-02-23 10:42:06 UTC.

Hmm, now this is interesting - we see one DNS RR pointed to this IP.

We see three malware samples in our malware menagerie that reference 
this IP.

Ah, it's being used by a Tunisian miscreant as a bounce.  Perhaps it's 
both a bot and a malware hosting box.

Ah, looking further, it's definitely been a bot/proxy.  It was connected 
to a botnet on DALnet, channel #farm, back on 2008-05-11 19:17:57 UTC. 
It had another bot on it that was sniffing that IRC C&C traffic.  :)

Long screed, short summary:  Bot, proxy, malware hoster.

Thanks,
Rob.
