Why would you do this?
Well, for one, sometimes you need to do a port scan when you're not in front of a system that has nmap installed on it. I get a call about once every couple of months, "why can't I get into my email server" that's sitting behind a hardware router with a hole poked in it for port 110. Doing a port scan on the client's IP address ensures that either yes, the port is open or no, it's not. If it's open then I can proceed with my troubleshooting - if not, I know where to look for the problem. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
