No I haven't Keith,

I'm testing a new client that I wrote, and the testbox is sitting inside my
firewalls on my network. It purposely has plenty of holes, warnings and
ports open so I can build my reports and test specific plugins.

I just thought this was strange as it happens several times in the test not
just once...

Cheers

Have you tried going to www.grc.com, and doing a test with
their ShieldsUp! port scanner?

How is it possible that I get a HOLE on port 137 yet the port scanner says
that port 137 isn't open?

I thought a port had to be open or listening for it to be vulnerable. Am I
right thinking this?

Cheers & Bears
