It is not an issue of whether a site/network can handle the nmap "hammering" It is up to the org. If they have a security policy to go after people who try to probe their network (which is what nmap does), they can choose to do so. In another thread, I had made the point to use such tools **only** on systems that under **your** purview. If you still don't get it then please go ahead and nmap all the sites you want. Don't be surprise if the cops are knocking on your door one fine morning. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
