I don't mean to stray off the current topic, but since this is a "Security Basics" list -- Kev, you really shouldn't be

Just a thought.

Daniel,

The only thing I have issues with this is a full UDP scan can take 18 hours plus to finish, whereas a syn scan can be 
done in minutes, not really an effective use of the tool possibly
