Dromedaries are the one-humped variety, Bactrian have two. And as everyone knows, dromedaries rule, and Bactrian’s drool. They both spit, though. My favorite line from my very last DARPA proposal. More in a bit, insanely busy!

So when I started being interested in scanning for IPMI out in the wild, which runs on UDP 623, I first fired up trusty ol’ nmap… but bless it’s heart, it’s a cautious, robust scanner that is outrun by crippled snails on UDP scanning.

[EDIT nov 24/2014] – the beast is dead… fried somehow, but was great for a year and a half.
