A lot of devices sold as broadband routers are really just ordinary router/NAT devices that still need to plug in to one of the aforementioned devices; for those I use "router". But I am sure a lot of older prints don't follow this rule strictly.Interesting. I haven't been making that distinction in the service probes file. I have been considering any consumer router/NAT device designed for cable or DSL to be "broadband router" unless it has wireless capabilities, then it is a WAP.
Yeah, that is generally what I've done too. Though admittedly there is a hard-to-define gray area between this sort of consumer "broadband router" and traditional routers.
Like Fyodor suggested I will write up a short description of each of the categories and then we can revise them and make an official list.
Great! I think this discussion demonstrates the need. Cheers, -F _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
