    Greetings!  I've written a whitepaper that explores some methods for host 
    discovery, paying the most attention to discovering hosts behind a firewall 
    with an explicit policy. It probably won't be terribly valueable to the 
    seasoned pen tester, but I think it lays out the basics and should give you 
    some ideas. I also wrote a perl script that implements the ideas presented. 
    
    You can find the whitepaper at http://moonpie.org/writings/discovery.pdf and 
    the perl script at http://moonpie.org/tools/discover.tgz 
    
    I'm interested in hearing your comments :) 
    
    
    Best Regards, 
    
    - Mark
