    As noted on bugtraq, accessing a Morpheus/Kazaa user directly via port
    1214 bypasses the clients built-in limitations on the number of concurrent
    downloads.

    If your on a large cable provider, your most likely just getting scanned
    by kids looking for music and movies.

    This would explain the .gov and .edu sources also. Blackhats do read the
    securityfocus lists too.
