Well, that kind of depends. Here in the US, a judge ruled that port
scanning isn't illegal. In other places, this is not the case. Given the
US/EU treaties, it could be assumed that general reconnaisance will soon
be illegal everywhere.

Subject: Is it "legal" to nmap offending hosts?
Hi All!
Sure this is a beginners question, but I must ask it
anyway. Is it considered ilegal ou unpolite to send
nmap probes to offending hosts I find in my logs? I
have no intention to go any farther, but I would like
to gather some information on these hosts.
Any comments would be welcome!
Regards,
Xno
