[nsp-sec] Vague query for the group

Hi, team.

A friend of mine hit me up with an interesting query.  He is doing
some research on a sort of surreptitious netcrawler.  It seems to be
very open-ended; it is capable of looking for any programmable endpoint
(e.g. TCP, UDP, you name it).  It is also very, very subtle.  It isn't
likely to trigger the usual detection methods.

I realize this is very vague, and unfortunately this is all I have to go
on.  I don't have any flows, network traces, etc.  If any of this sounds
even vaguely familiar, please ping me offlist.

Thanks!
Rob.
