It's not about finding anything of interest in the server. It's the negative impact this server and many others like it have on others when they're leveraged in an attack.

I definitely do not support having unmonitored servers. If your server is used in an attack, you should see a traffic spike and shut it down.

I also meant to say that any server used for this purpose should be firewalled so that only your IP can access it.

An outward attack from this server against another doesn't necessarily register in bandwidth graphs. It all depends on the type of attack.
