I'm just wondering wether port scans are legal or not. I heard a little of both views -- some say that it just like driving by a house to see if any windows are open -- others see it as a hacking threat. Some ISP's don't like you doin it either (I didn't see anything realted to that in the legal stuff from my ISP), so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong....only reason I do port scans is cuz I want to know who is on the other end of the code red attempts on my (apache) server, and leave a message for the admin if I can.
