Renaud This patch (attached) adds a new preference "Log live hosts in the report" and defaults to "no" as at present. If enabled, any host contactable via tcp or icmp will have an entry logged which says "The remote host was contactable". You might want to checck my logic to make sure that I have it right!
I've added this because people have been asking me "what percentage of machines are we finding that are vulnerable to MS03-039" and I have no way of knowing how many of the 206,000 IP addresses that I'm scanning contain a live machine without this. <<pingh.pat>> Trevor Hemsley, Security Specialist, Atos Origin Ltd, Whyteleafe, +44-(0)1883-628139 [This e-mail and the documents attached are confidential and intended solely for the adressee ; it may also be privileged .
