Re: Overview of NMAP

[Max Vision <vision () whitehats com>]

Hello!

Excellent writeup - I noticed you still had the decoy question though.  I
had made a little webpage showing the decoys in action:

http://whitehats.com/nmap/

To summarize, decoy scans work perfectly!  I know it's a little old now,
but I believe the data is still valid. I didn't mention the randomized TTL
foo, but it just strengthens the anonymity.  I saw you had posted about
alternate methods of tracing decoys scans, but don't recall if they have
been addressed in the new nmap..

have fun!
