This analogy has been made before, but network scanning isn't like knocking on someones door. Attempting to access an IP using Internet Explorer on port 80 is like knocking on someones door. Port/Network scanning amounts to going to someones house, peering in all of the windows, testing the door to see if its unlocked, and seeing if the attic vent was left open on accident. This definitely should be illegal IMO... Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
