As for Asterisk, you can use the PORTSCOUT variable to instruct portscout on
how it should handle this particular port.

I've added a handler for Github and Rubygems yesterday. The former because it
was totally unhandled and the latter because robots.txt forbit portscout from
crawling it. But they've got an API which can be queried for versions. I'm
currently doing the same for CPAN as portscout would often resort to guessing
versions for modules..

I'll put hackage on my list.
