I absolutely agree with Peter. Of course you might argue that there aren't any legit reasons to scan a host that isn't yours, but you don't want to put people into jail only because of their curiosity, don't you? By the way, there is a super-fast port scanner called 'scanrand' in the must-have package Paketto Keiretsu, just in case you haven't got it yet. It doesn't wait for ACKs to arrive, but just sends as much SYNs until your connection is saturated (you might want to limit bandwith, tough). Quite cool. http://www.doxpara.com/ -daniel ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
