Hi, It's not a service to show people how vulnerable they are! --- Really? You would seriously turn down a free security audit? Is this a Unix network? Really. My network is comprised of MS, Novell, Redhat, and AS400. Common view among security officers these days is there is NO such thing as a secure network. This applies equally to Solaris as well as NT. As far as a free audit goes ... if it is being done by someone that you don't know the answer is No! If it would be done by someone you know then the answer would be maybe. Again network security is risk management. Something as simple as a port scan will set off Intrusion Detection and would be flagged as "Recon" with possible hostile intent. How else could this be viewed by a security. BTW I am long Sun and own no MS, just for the record.
