I belive that the best utilities are: - nmap (most popular scanner) - hping2 (great and powerfull tool, lots of features) - nemesis (allows injecting lots of different packets on the network) - x (only for testing OS fingerprinting) - isic (allows injecting some bad packets, with bad cheksums etc)
hmm, no more that i recall of. Also use tcpdump to examine, what actually happens in the wire :) > TIA, Here you are, no problem. > Terry. Maciek
