Javascript Form Validation

It's real simple.

All you need to do is call a javascript function in a html  "onsubmit" in the form tag as a javascript return, like this

     <form method="post" action="dosomething.php" onsubmit="return validateForm();">


If the code completes ok, the form is then sent to the page listed in "action"

If the function specified in the onsubmit returns false, then the form is not sent to the page mentioned in action.

NMAP

It's been about 15 years since I used NMAP, I forgot how useful the tool is. To find out what services are running on an IP address simply use something like nmap -n -v -p1-10000 x.x.x.x -n tells nmap not to do name resolution (saves about 13 seconds if the IP you're scanning isn't in DNS_ -v verbose -p1-10000 says scan ports 1 to 10,000 (otherwise nmap will only scan the first 1000 ports)
