I can see the use of ports to identify the protocol used, but this is first and foremost intended to be used for malware analysis - where i already have problems Identifying the protocol used. But i think this is possible for irc and maybe http, as these are the most common protocols used. Still i have problems to find out what port it starts sending to before i have to identify the protocol. It was a good idea, suddenly it seems so far away ;) As a side note i should also mention that i know of easier methods to do this, as to use a regular irc or web-server daemon - but again thats not the point :) Again thanks for enlighten me on your view guys, much appreciated.
