UDP port scans using the .Fl uz ! combination of flags will always report success irrespective of ! the target machine's state. ! However, ! in conjunction with a traffic sniffer either on the target machine ! or an intermediary device, ! the ! .Fl uz ! combination could be useful for communications diagnostics. ! Note that the amount of UDP traffic generated may be limited either ! due to hardware resources and/or configuration settings.
