Oooh, this is THE most fun part - examples:

- internal servers acting as clients (owned boxes)
- depending upon the rule set, denied outbound conns are interesting
- top outbound allowed/denied ports (trojans? other fun stuff)
- many others .. need to dig into my archives

As you can guess :-) I have a paper in the works on just the outbound
firewall log analysis.

Best,
