Re: Port Scanner Challenge Revisited: Nmap, Unicornscan, Portbunny

I have put the comment out at one point that I would be more than
happy to perform additional tests be they against individual hosts or
a large network... I will happily comply... One of the problems is
that unicorn scan needs to be "tuned" against each specific network as
Robert mentioned to me in a previous email... and to me that becomes a
hit against right off the bat... if I have to scan and tune and scan
and tune... that defeats the purpose. If the authors want a large
sampling... and want to see independent results... I'm more than
willing to do it, but don't tell me I need to continually tune your
product... Thing of the added time to pen tests and audits. Scan once
and potentially wait a few seconds longer (although in most cases you
didn't have to wait as long) or scan numerous times, tuning each time
so that ultimately you have one scan that was faster... but you've
done numerous scans.

Either way... Authors... give me your idea scan line for a large
target base and I'll test them and post speed and accuracy results.
