Abstract
Customers of a computing resource service provider may operate one or more computing resources, provided by the computing resource service provider, within a virtual network. The customers may request network scans of the computing resources with the virtual network. Scanning packets may be generated and encapsulated to ensure delivery to an appropriate destination within the virtual network. The information in the scanning packet may appear to be generated by a source within the virtual network.
