Web Hosting Provider - finding blocked ports

[Tom Buskey]

Kludge upon kludge:

#!/bin/sh
mv nmap.txt nmap.bak
nmap -P0 login.oscar.aol.com | egrep -v '^(Starting|Interesting|Nmap
finished)|^$' > nmap.txt
cmp nmap.txt nmap.bak
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
  diff nmap.txt nmap.bak | mail -s 'ports changed' your at address
fi

Stick that script in a cronjob :-)  You'll get email every time they change
ports.
