EH-Net

This should be a fun two part series on Nmap by someone who uses it on a regular basis. Welcome to the EH-Net Writers' Corps.  :-*

Permanent Link: [Article]-Nmap from an Ethical Hacker`s View Part 1 (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/155/2/)


Be sure to share your thoughts and make suggestions,
Don

Very detailed, well thought out.

 I have to admit, I didn't know that the gentleman that created, "Crime and Punishment" first name was Fyodor :) Looking forward to part 2!  Thanks again

You have been slashdotted!!

Congrats,

While we're at it, let's try digg:

Don

SlashDot is how I found this place and
it looks like a great place for anybody looking
into C|EH. Seen some videos on Nmap used in
conjunction with Metasploit and this is a good write up
on Nmap.
Keep up the good work.
 ;D :o ;)

Thanks Bro, and we all look forward to you being here.

its a shame that there are only like 2 decent posts in that whole slashdot thread.

i think we should propose a new internet rule that to flame someone you dont personally know, you should have to give links to your papers, work, research, that shows why your opinion is worth the flame.

overlooking that the anonyminity (sp) that the net provides.. most people into security that are trying to constantly show how cool they are should remember that the rest of the 99.8% of the world could give two shits about anything we as a group  find "cool" or worthwhile and remember that we are all a bunch on nerds. 

might put things into perspective... spend that time flaming someone to just go learn something new

Where has the article gone?
I found the link from slashdot and started reading it last night. I bookmarked the page.  Today I get "You are not authorised to view this resource" at http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/155/1/

Sorry about that Walt and anyone else looking for the Nmap article. We have an issue with the content and decided to pull the article until we can get it all squared away. This should be temporary as all parties involved have the education of the security community as their top priority.

On the bright side, every article on EH-Net remains free and open to all visitors.

Thanks for being patient,

You can still find the article in Google cache.

Nope, cache has been updated to the new page.  ;D

I thought of the same thing before I posted earlier.

this is sick
the artical is the only reason i registered with this site
not good not good

Me too.

The page said I had to register to view the article. When I registered it said I wasn't authorized. Now I suppose I'll be receiving spam from noreply@ehticalhacker.net for the rest of my life and I didn't even get to read the article...

the spam is pretty low on this site

i'm sure Don can delete your account if you are that concerned about it.

I understand your concerns. Please feel free to delete your account. We had no intention of duping anyone into becoming a member. As mentioned in the post, we do apologize greatly as this was completely an unforeseen incident and all other content is absolutely free.

As for the messages we send to members, I wouldn't even call it spam. The members get at the most 2 emails a month to announce new articles, contests, etc. and that's about it. Feel free to PM me or any other member and ask how much email they have received from EH-Net.

Personally, I can't stand it when you sign up for something and they send you multiple messages daily. One every now and then is cool by me, so we live by the golden rule here at EH-Net.

Thanks for your understanding,
Don

LOL  Definately do not worry about getting spammed.  I actually don't remember ever receiving anything from EH-Net, but would like to... 

Is the content issue one of accuracy, or ethics (aka "stupidity, or danger")?

I came here from slashdot to read the article. I got to read it before it "disappeared". It was good although some of it was the same old, same old and I did notice a couple of mistakes.  The best part of the article was the idea of running nmap scans against a simple windows firewall and noting the results. He was actually trying to get people to use nmap instead of just reading about it and thats cool. It looked like to me that some dude named "professor I will sell you the secrets of nmap for $197 messer" got pissy about a chart being used that was similar to the one he has in his book he is selling so the article got pulled. I hope people here are not dumb enough to actually buy a course on nmap!  Just go and download it and practice. There are so many good free tuts out there.

I would like to demonstrate in FAVOUR of Kev. I really enjoyed the article, just as I enjoy reading his posts here. His real life experience is second to none and gives a new dimension and aspect at looking at the topics discussed here, and he has been a very worthy winner of some of the prizes here.

I am in favour of having this article reinstated together with whatever disclaimer that each of the parties feel is relevant for each to get their due credit, and still retain their rights.

Finally I am most offended that Kevs member account here has been suspended/deleted. I do not feel that this issue is worthy off banning Kev or for him to have deleted his account on his own. I publicly call for Kevs account to be reinstated/reactivated, and I ask other members here to join me!!! Kev, please come back, you've been missed over the past 2 weeks.

i was at chicon with Don and i told him Kevs account was no longer active or deleted, it was news to him.  So if someone deleted Kev's account it was probably Kev.

Just to clear the record, as Chris stated, I did not suspend Kev's account. Concentrating on ChicagoCon, I didn't realise it until Chris told me. So during the event, I personally called Kev as well as emailed him asking him to please stay with our community. Kev has been and I hope will continue to be a very valuable member of EH-Net.

More than you know, EH-Net has dealt with similar issues in the past. Kev was informed every step along the way. The decision was agreed to by all parties involved. It was also agreed that we would take the discussion off-board as to not start any unnecessary conflicts. I do ask for your understanding about the article, and, in the interest of those involved, let this issue go.

Kev is a very proud and respectful man, so let's just focus on the positive. He is missed, and it is my sincere desire that his absence is merely a hiatus and not a permanent decision.

Don

I hope Kev will be back here,waiting for his valuable upcoming posts..!!

i have been a member for maybe a month or so and have recieved no email, although i would be happy to recieve any sort of mail from this site. This place is a goldmine when it comes to interesting information and all the members seem very willing to help out if you have a question, everyone involved in the site does a great job, keep it up guys.

pjayes

rok, Kev has been back for a while now.  ;)
