handle the hammering from nmap? Isn't US Gov sites a different issue?
It is not an issue of whether a site/network can handle the
nmap "hammering" It is up to the org. If they have a security policy
to go after people who try to probe their network (which is what nmap
does), they can choose to do so.
In another thread, I had made the point to use such tools **only** on
systems that under **your** purview.
If you still don't get it then please go ahead and nmap all the sites
you want. Don't be surprise if the cops are knocking on your door one
fine morning.
