A find_service_udp would be much more intrusive.

But again - what about those devices where we can't get local accounts?


Can you afford to crash them?


 There are devices that run on non-standard UDP ports


You mean *standard* services or non standard ports??
If this is known, that we can enhance the detection of a couple of
protocols. e.g. if some company implements a DNS server on port 5353, 
we can add the necessary probe in dns_server.nasl


Can you afford to run nmap -sU -sV for days to get this true picture?
netstat -p would give it instantly.



For a complete review that needs to be performed where I technically 
cannot or am prohibited by the system admin to do this, then yes!


I wonder how many people can afford that.
