Re: DOS on inetd w/ nmap

Nmap is about 4 times faster, as it turns out, for doing port scans, but it
has this nasty side-effect.  It also seems to be sending data, as it not
only crashes inetd on IRIX, but it also crashes some service called
'sgi_fam' with an enormous amount of data.


nmap -h:
--cut---
  -T <Paranoid|Sneaky|Polite|Normal|Aggressive|Insane> General timing policy
--cut---

wont this help? Am I missing the point?

Regards,
Roelof.
