Re: Response to David/Service Probes

now that i see how you explained that to me, i understand my error. so basically nmap only offers a few probes we have 
to use for solicitation of the response, right? the match lines are simply service responses that are sent back when 
sending an empy payload, correct? as far as the version scripts, i was just under the assumption SCRIPTS and PROBE 
SCANS were seperate entities, but i realize now that anything to illicit a version check would and should be used. 
thank you for clearing alot of that up!

 

All:

 

did anyone come up with anything reguarding the error i send to the forum previously involving the script scan attempt 
and getting back this:

NSOCK (6.5000s) nsock_loop() started (timeout=50ms). 1 events pending
NSOCK (6.5630s) nsock_loop() started (timeout=50ms). 1 events pending

nmap args were as follows nmap -sT -v -n -P0 --max-retries 1 -ttl 64 -script=pptp-version.nse -p 1723 -reason (target)

 

i understand the timeout and service not listening/responding...but why the error report? shouldn't "TIMED OUT" be 
enough? also quickly, and maybe a bit nitpicky as well, i saw the probe ""SMBProgNeg"---should this be changed to 
SMBProtNeg for Negotiate Protocol?
 

thanks again
