I did much the same sometime back for the same kind of reasons. 
Consequently I rarely receive interesting scans and nothing that I'd 
ever call a serious crack has been attempted. That is not to say that 
reading the pf logfile in Ethereal isn't entertaining... pleasing 
results on one hand, but disappointing on the other; do people really 
give up so easily? Too lazy to type the extra -P0 for nmap? :)

And yes, I am aware of the great potential for humour if, lets say, I 
wake up tomorrow to find I've been 0wNeD by an 31337 hAxX0r ;)
