Hello,

1) Thanks for --interactive, will be added. It is not a problem even now, because
such Nmap session would be killed after timeouted. But of course, it is better
to add it.

2) You can not execute shell-commands (erm :) you should not be able to).

3) You can scan local network but the machine firewall will show you nothing.
Maybe also a good idea to add to filter just to save a few ticks of processor time.


Thanks!

I'm not sure if you can send commands with --interactive, but you're
right, it seems dangerous.

Another idea -- don't allow people to scan the local network
(192.168.0.0/24).  Just a suggestion :)
