Scanning is always a precursor to an attack, or to determine if any obvious methodology can be used to attack. At least that's how it has been historically viewed. In my opinion there is no legitimate reason to scan a remote host or network without the permission of the owners. Otherwise it is in fact excessive behaviour.

You don't have to. This is why I never understood why people care so much about probing. If you do a good job with your network, probing will have zero affect on you. All the person probing can do (regardless of their intent) is say "Gee, I guess there aren't any vulnerabilities with this network." Andy Andy Dills 301-682-9972 Xecunet, LLC www.xecu.net
