I have a FreeBSD web server that is receiving large amounts of UDP
traffic to port 2002. Here is an example of the traffic I'm seeing
(Source and Destination IP addresses scrubbed):

The source machines all appear to be FreeBSD 4.x boxes running apache.
Is this possibly a variation on the Apache/Scalper worm
(http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/scalper.shtml) which sets up a
backdoor on udp/2001?
