Hello, I am planning to perform port scanning for routers and firewalls security on my network. My questions are about what benefits I will obtain by running a port scanning tool (NMAP, ISS, etc..). Will there be any difference in the results whether I use this tool inside my network (from an internal IP) or outside my network. What's the aim of running this tool from internal network? Do I need to make port scanning over devices which are not accessible outside my network from internet and are only accessible from internal network? (such as WAN routers and LAN&WAN firewalls.) I was planning to run "NMAP", do you think it satisfies my aim? Can anyone give me a brief explanation? Thanks, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
