Warning: this site is a worthless pile of junk, and has probably done more to retard the understanding of network security than anything else on record. Their 'scan' is both inaccurate and unhelpful. If you want to know how your system behaves, do your own testing from a host on the outside. nmap, nc, and tcpdump are far more informative. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
