That works, too.  Do you agree, though, that it's inconsistent to
only focus on a couple services (such as the UDP services) versus
all services?  We don't do that with HTTP or FTP services, then why
is it okay with lesser-used services?  I'd rather be more worried
if I was assessing a network and came across multiple unused HTTP
services versus echo/udp services, regardless if there was a
vulnerability.
