You can also try to use hping in an external script.

But as Henrik wrote, you can't be sure you'll have an answer if a service/daemon is listening to that UDP port.

You can find some infos about hping (with UDP examples) at this URL : http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=258387

Does anyone know of a plugin (or a way) to test a UDP port?
Yes, I know that may sound strange (IE UDP IS stateless) but I need to be able to basically test if a port responds or not.

Or failing that. I seem to remember a long time ago a plugin for BB that used the qstat game server query program to test game servers. Does that ring a bell to anyone?
