> doing unwarranted nmap scans is considered network abuse
After almost being physically ejected from a secure data centre because a member of my group used nmap to see if a port was open, I recommend starting with telnet. :)
A wide nmap is probably going to trigger an IDS, and then you get to meet interesting people and answer interesting questions.
- nocsi 3y agoThere’s something wrong with your org if nmap scans trigger alerts/bring down machines. There’s so many rogue devices scanning networks nowadays that’d I’d be surprised if anyone had port scanning enabled in the filters to minimize false positives.
