Come on Stewart, you're better than that. How does the CPU scan an incoming packet?

It doesn't.  However, how many people are using Intel networking cards?

Probably every commercial server produced in the last 3 years. Possibly more.

You could bury such code in the Ethernet MAC field decoders and nobody would ever know. When was the last time *anyone* made a penetration scan using a soft MAC Ethernet card? I have never heard of one.

We'd also have boxes randomly crashing all over the place.

Ummmm ...
