Whilst I offer the same line to some friends and family, others I wouldn't dare start there (out of respect - they've already done everything obvious before asking for help). > Besides, wouldn't it be just as easy to use the Nmap sitting on my computer > if I decided I needed to use it? If only it was always that easy... I just moved, and whilst the ISP is the same, the CLEC is new - new lines, new IP, some newer softare, etc. I need to verify *my* setup, so: * my local nmap is useless * my work boxen are heavily firewalled - even outbound * my accounts elsewhere usually don't have nmap available to non-admins (and I shy from that role unless needed). So... For me, this has been an great service, and I'm sure I'm not alone. -- Rick Nelson Life'll kill ya -- Warren Zevon Then you'll be dead -- Life'll kill ya _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
