Hello, 


After my previous posts i got into the Malformed Packet thing and now found
some clue.

Apparently nmap returns Malformed Packet : SNMP while performing a port scan
on a host in a different subnet. Is it safe to assume that performing a
portscan would return Malformed Packets every time you launch a portscan ?
It's quite logical nmap would be a source of such Mp's but then again,
what's the reason for NetPort Printservers to cause Malformed Packets ?

If anyone has experience with analysing the nature of these MP's please let
me know.


Any feedback would be appreciated,

Joris
