    Ah, crazy old Gibson. The tests don't inspire much confidence, however,
    since the one overlap (that was clearly reported, anyhow) between the two
    sets of tests reported "stealthed" to one and merely "closed" to the other.
    And the port scan missed things, but I guess he's targeting Windows users
    and so chooses his targets.

    Now, if his claim to have "just figured out" how to scan all 2**16 ports at
    once - "almost instantaneously" - ever becomes more than another tabloid
    item on his port scan page...

    Not what I was looking for (I know the identd is running: I want to be able
    to easily check what it's reporting), but it's been a while since I was
    reminded of this old, uhm, fixture of the PC scene. Oh, all those
    exclamations!
