I disagree. Were my intentions malevolent, the last thing I'd do is launch an initial scan from my primary, secondary (or even tertiary) systems. When someone puts up a scanning service with weak or nonexistent validation on who can use that service against what IP address, that sort of thing is an invitation for net.abuse. In my view, Gibson is irresponsible in setting up such a weak system on his site. I imagine others would be more forgiving had he not gone off on a "Microsoft/DDoS" bender earlier this year. - -Jay ( ( _______ )) )) .-"There's always time for a good cup of coffee"-. >====<--.
