Nmap isn’t encouraged where I work. I ran it once on a customer’s IP a couple months when I first started here. The firewall interpreted it as an attack, and blocked us for 20 mins. Except we had a BOVPN connection to them, so 20mins never reset because it thought we kept hitting it. Since we needed to hit it to change the setting manually, it was pretty annoying to fix, though one of our guys managed about 5-6 hours later that night.
