Wow, that's crazy. :) I have done another test run - with considerably improved results. I've posted some timing information to the list. I searched ports for your checker when it was mentioned before, but I couldn't see it. However, I borrowed a few ideas based on the information you had put up. One of my goals was to make portscout as low-maintenance as possible, so I tried to avoid having lists of ports/hosts, etc. But, it seems like this is inevitable, so I might make use of your data files at some point. I will definitely take a look at your checker now I know where it is. Regards, Shaun -- Shaun Amott [ PGP: 0x6B387A9A ] Scientia Est Potentia.
