A very quick check of sweN itself indicates that it contains the command to
list all active newsgroups on a server, as well as the command to list new
news postings on those newsgroups since a particular date. Occam's razor
suggests that the most frequently carried news groups will coincide with
those that are most likely to cause you to be harvested.
