I have it from:
Package: nmap
Version: 2.3BETA14-0
Priority: extra
Section: net
Maintainer: LaMont Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>= \
1.2.6-1), xlib6g (>= 3.3.5)
Architecture: i386
Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/net/nmap_2.3BETA14-0.deb
Does quite a lot of neat scanning tricks - half-scan ("stealth") and various
others, across whole subnets instead of just machines.
I vote for 'netstat -anp' if you're on the machine itself though and need to
see what process is responsible for the port. Nmap for what other folks can
see of you.
