May not work for a long because there is a pending patch (from me) for
detecting tarpitted ports in Nmap:

http://Xtrmntr.org/ORBman/tmp/nmap/nmap-3.95-detect_TARPIT.patch

(applies to all current releases)

P.S. If you know about different tarpit methods that does not get
detected with the patch above, please let me know...
