nmap is all you need. The manpage will tell you everything about it you need to know. If you can't find an open port then you may want to consider running an ssh tunnel (man ssh and look for -R and -L options). Even worse running TCP/IP over your ssh connection with a pppd and Magosányi Árpád's pty-redir program. Mind you, I can guanentee that your University IT dept will be justifiably pissed if you setup a VPN between your home network and their LAN. -Peter On Wed, Feb 22, 2006 at 01:59:41PM -0800, Paul Johnson wrote: > On Wednesday 22 February 2006 13:18, Mehmet Fatih Akbulut wrote: > > hi all, > > i am now behind a firewall [at dormitory], and i want to check open ports. > > is there a handy program that does this job for me ;) > > nmap will do it if you know your IP address and can run nmap from another > network. > > BTW, attempting to breach your university's security measure probably violates > your terms of enrollment and can get you kicked out of college or evicted > from your dorm.
