Hi,

Forgive the ignorance but I'm just inquisitive about port scanning and
things .....

I have installed nmap on an old linux box and have used it on some machines
on our network.
"Great ....I now have a list of open ports" so now what ?

I suppose from a "script kiddies" point of view he would then run some
scripts that would attack those ports ?

I would like to prove to someone that telnet is way bad, in comparison to
ssh when it comes to security.
So what would I need to do to check for telnet/ftp passwords on an internal
server ?

NB : I have root access to the box I'm going to try this on, so NO I'm not
trying to hack someone else's PC.

Thanks
Mark
