You're shouting does not alter the fact that I have a perfect right and an
obligation to my employers and customers to probe your network.
By allowing any packet originating from your network to pass into one of the
networks under my control, you have authorized me to monitor your activity.
Of course, my probes will be fairly straight forward as I will be building
the foundation for a criminal investigation and a court case.
The word, "scanning", is almost too generic a word to use. It covers a wide
range of activities from a simple probe to verify that a system is active
and could be the system originating questionable activity to an extremely
aggressive attempt to locate open service ports on every system on a
network.
