1) I'm sure none of you can imagine this, but sometimes running and startup configs aren't the same. YES it's TRUE! So, your approach could be disastrous and is really ill advised. 2) Nmap may not give reliable results from all sites. Surely you've encounted ACLs that caused erroneous nmap results from some locations. As the guy said: sometimes he travels. Having the capability to run it from a neutral location can get by that. I'm sure there's more..... On 12/5/06, Greg <full-disclosure3 () pchandyman com au> wrote:
I don't wish to upset anyone but that answer has to be the craziest FIRST "port of call" approach I have seen used. I get plenty of those sorts of calls. I take about 30 seconds time on the phone for almost all of them. I say "Pull the power plug out of the router. Wait 10 seconds, plug it back in and wait another 10 seconds. OK, try now" and almost all of them report it works well. So why would I need and how could I use Nmap online to tell me the router went crazy and locked up? Besides, wouldn't it be just as easy to use the Nmap sitting on my computer if I decided I needed to use it? Greg. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
