Hi Folks What are the chances we could see basically a box out there like scanme but with all the ports open and with a service listening (even if it's just an echo server or redirecting everything to ssh on tcp and udp. This is extremely useful for testing which ports are blocked from inside a firewalled environment however I can see how scanning 65k ports could probably piss off whoever is hosting the server as it would probably garner a lot more activity per user and a lot heavier use. Sure if the load becomes too heavy you can just tank the idea and take the domain name offline. I myself have an amazon cloud server setup for just this and I've found it dead handy but I thought it'd be a nice idea for nmap to have an official one.
Thanks for the suggestion. If you're OK with other people scanning the machine you set up for this purpose, you're certainly welcome to announce the IP address here on nmap-dev and/or other email addresses or social networks you might use. You can even give it a memorable DNS name so people might recall it in a pinch.
