1) "ZMap supports both blacklisting and whitelisting network prefixes. If ZMap is not provided with blacklist or whitelist parameters, ZMap will scan all IPv4 address (including local, reserved, and multicast addresses)."
What an absolutely stupid default setting. Thanks for giving a bunch of noobs a simple IPMC DOS application. If this thing gets popular it will soon be the bane of network admins everywhere.
2) There are at least 2 obvious omissions from their default blacklist file. There might be more but these are the obvious ones that come to mind.
class-E 240.0.0.0/4
CGN 100.64.0.0/10
3) Can someone explain to me why I wouldn't just want to use nmap to do this same thing? Why do we need a new tool for this?
