I am a newbie and I would like to learn how to port scan and then play around a little after that. However I'm told that even though I don't plan to do anything destructive my ISP may be contacted and I could lose my account (not to mention legal trouble). I was wondering if anyone knows of a server that I could practice on and build up confidence without receiving harsh punishments for my ignorant mistakes.
Hummmm mode is this like the I scanned the ports now what do I do thread?
My ISP disconnects me every time I run a port scan...the fascist bastards! :DQuote:

you cant learn to port scan you have to download or write a port scanner application.

If I were you, I'd set up a LAN at my house or somewhere where you are free to play and mess around without the possibility of punishment. There are definitely some ISP's who will reprimand users who run port scans - I can't name any names right now, cause I haven't run into an ISP personally who bans port scans - but I know that this practice is common. Anyway, back to the point - set up a LAN, run several different operating systems and configurations (as many as you can get a hold of), get yourself a port scanner (maybe something like SuperScan) and have fun... The word of advice here is to experiment on your own equipment to avoid trouble...
I suggest SuperScan or NScan for windows or if you want to be more advanced get nmap for linux or nt.
what is a suggestion for a good scanner, and once i use it what are some things to do to start learning some basics, like sending forged e-mails to myself and whatnot
if you have broadband, then you could connect one of your old machines (if you have any left over) to the net with juno or something, then hack it, you won't care if you screw up a machine you no longer use, you could even reformat and install a new OS to get varied practice
http://www.pulltheplug.com look at their systems and you'll see
you better do some homework before you even attemp these things, twot.

just get port scan plus, but uhh i dont want to get flamed for relplying to this, just do a search on google for "port scanners"
It's not a rough life nowadays to learn, just have a little common sense before you try learning. You don't just strap a parachute to your back and jump out of a plane, just like you don't download a canned program and screw with it. Granted, that may be a bit different in some circumstances, but you can use that as a rule of thumb.
Also, Palemoon, you should use some better punctuation there. And a little bit of structure to your writing. I'm just letting you know, it's kinda hard to read those thoughts in your posts at the moment. :)
Try anrgry ip port scanner nice and efficient

Since this thread is almost 3 years old, something leads me to believe that the OP probably has his answer by now. However, I got to admit it’s a rarity to see someone with 5 red gifs under their name. So thanks for the hoot.
cheers
Well there's even a 3, 4, and a 5 red dotter. Some sorta death thread :eek:
Hey Relyt!
Not to mention two banned 11 green snotdotters? :D
I have alresdy mentioned to the young gentleman in another thread that stuff over two years old is probably resolved by now :)
cheers
