Note that, under certain circumstances, it can make sense to bug your
own systems, and in most (all?) jurisdictions it is legal if the users
are warned beforehand.
This can make sense if you run a shell provider, and d00m10rd_t3h_1337
is running another ssh scan, for instance...
Plus, you need at least a high-level theoretical knowledge of an attack
to be able to adequately defend yourself from it.
