I prefer

http://nmap-online.com/

which gives you basically the output that nmap produces, which (to me)
is much easier to read.

Yup; works here too, that way.

True. That was just one example of a program that can use upnp.
There are others such as various p2p programs that require either
upnp, or manual configuration of forwarding, and won't work without
it.

The scariest part of the attack scenario, is that everything is
working as designed. There is no software bug involved (except
in those routers where the attack can force it to be reset to
the factory defaults). It's a protocol design problem that
affects most routers.
