5. Can I scan my network in stealth with Infiltrator?

No, Infiltrator is not a quiet scanner - it creates an easily followed trail while it is scanning, as it is a tool designed for network administrators and computer owners. It should now be used as hacking tool - however Infiltrator allows you to quickly audit your network using the same techniques a hacker would.

7. Sometimes the UDP scan returns all false-positives?

Depending on your connection speed and latency at the time of the scan, the UDP scan may return false positives on many or all of the ports it checks. This can be remedied by setting a higher timeout in the Advanced settings of Infiltrator, or by waiting a minute and re-scanning.

8. When I scan my own computer locally, then remotely, I get different results?

This is to be expected. When scanning a computer locally (i.e.: you are scanning the computer you are using to do the scan), you are already running with administrator privileges (unless you are using a guest account) and all the scans will typically succeed and reveal information about your computer. A remote scan should not reveal too much, or any information about your computer - as this is what an outside potential attacker could use against you.

9. How can I use Infiltrator to get an accurate depiction of my computer's security?

To get an extremely accurate depiction of your computer's security you should perform 3 total scans:

1. A local scan of the computer you are testing - to see what information a physical user of your machine could obtain.
2. A scan of your computer from another computer on your network - to see what information other network users can obtain from your computer.
3. An external scan of your computer from outside of your network - to see what information a totally remote, outside user can obtain from your computer.
