Subject: Re: Nmap Online

I agree with Dave on this one. Dude Van, I thought it was illegal in the
states..? Or am I mistaken? Also, think of this from the ISP's view, do they
really want a service port scanning their users? And look at it this way,
said target has a proxy server on it, attacker proxies into the proxy and
scans the target server with that service, since he is now on the targets IP
address, I think you understand what I'm getting at by now. nmap is made to
find exploits, that is what this service is going to wind up being abused
for (in most cases that i know).
