Question: how do you actually run it without getting banned? I've got banned pretty hard by both my local home ISP and using Linode servers, when tried such scanners. Mass port scanning is easy to track, and it usually forbidden all ISP ToC.

Question: why would you run this?

  To hack a gibson, baby.
- Godel_unicode 5y ago
  Research. Ever wonder how many telnet servers are exposed to the internet (hint: way too many)?
  - ansible 5y ago
    I wonder how many of those are just MUDs (text-mode dungeon games) where it was common to use telnet.
    - prox 5y ago
      Those would be running for a while now then
    - loeg 5y ago
      MUDs usually run on a non-standard port (not 23).

  I did a CTF a while back and it was used to find the real IP of a missconfigured .onion site. I didn't actually do it as I was worried about burning a VPS provider.

  My ISP had a misconfiguration that let all the customers ping each other (Routers usually). The address space was too large to scan any other way except masscan, which worked very well (and fast). https://medium.com/@captn3m0/i-scanned-all-of-act-bangalore-customers-and-the-results-arent-surprising-fecf9d7fe775 https://medium.com/@captn3m0/i-scanned-all-of-act-bangalore-...

You need to have a really good relationship with your ISP and get their acknowledge prior to the scanning

Hyper-naive question: If something can run in 5 minutes, how can it bother an ISP?
- pantulis 5y ago
  Because it sends a lot of traffic in such a small time frame. Also, it has obvious nefarious purposes and the ISP may face legal consecuences in case someone lawyers up.

  It triggers bans of your netblocks for bad behavior. 5 minutes to generate hundreds of complaints.

    Is it a timed ban or they cancel your contract?

Use a no-logs, anonymous VPN. I do it all the time.

    Next time you’re visiting any place, install a proxy on their network.

What do ISPs consider an acceptable rate?
