Hi -
I was testing some IP addresses the other day that I knew shouldn't be
accessible and although valid addresses, are probably not routable
(certainly ping fails and traceroute shows them to be unreachable
occasionally or just times out)
I ran a UDP scan using -sU -O -v -v -P0 - this took over a day to complete -
but finally came back with a whole bunch of open ports - between about 10
and 25 (I tested 3 separate IP addresses) - apparently a random spread.
I'm pretty sure the results are anomalous - as I know exactly what services
are actually running on these IP addresses - and it isn't any of the ones
the UDP scan returned.
Also - a scan using -sS against the same IP address finishes in a few
minutes and reports all ports as filtered.
I was just wondering why I got the open ports with the UDP scan?
TIA
Mike
