RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] network scanning?

*shrugs* Once someone decides to turn you into a criminal there is no
reason not to do it all the way. Therefore if someone applys bad doings to
you you may as well make them true and add to it. If you're doing anything
might as well do it all the way -- even being a criminal.

If machines crash from being scanned they need to be taken off the
net. Any weak machine is a security risk to everyone and not just the
owner. *shrugs* Probably right that the law doesn't care but oh
well.. scanning systems is certainly less dangerous than speeding so it
should have a lesser punishment.
