I would not think it is a good idea to run from ah ome machine. there is no telling what might be installed on their machine or how secure their network is. I suggest for outside scans to contact a profesional company or purchase a dedicated or co-located server designed for this purpose. Quoting ericaldrc51 () netscape net:
What's the group's consensus on allowing security staff to scan the company's external interfaces from their home, to get a true external assessment. I personally don't agree with this for audit and other reasons. Just looking for some other professional viewpoints.
