Difference between a function and a stored procedure in SQL

The main difference is a function cannot run insert , update or delete statements, a stored procedure can.

Functions can return a single value or a result set, like a stored procedure.

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)
