95% of the spyware I have dealt with sends out data from itself on one
of 3 channels:

1) 80/tcp
2) 443/tcp
3) 53/tcp or udp

The rest of it sends out data via some other port (8080, 6667, choose
something on the day).

Getting the spyware is usually done via port 80. Although the really
bad spyware which is mostly malware may get downloaded from port 443,
8080 or some random port on a compromised botnet. I have not seen much
FTP these days... but it was only about 100 or so tools I looked at,
and I know that is a small subset of some of this crap.
