It slows down NMAP plenty ... are you saying it is not a good scanner? |

As has already been pointed out, using DROP would not slow down a good |
| 16 |
scanner significantly. You could parallelize so that you can scan as |
| 17 |
many machines as you want, all within one timeout period. |

And it only takes one good coder to arm all the script kiddies with a |
| 20 |
good scanner. |
