That and about 10% of our (UCSD) hacked Windows boxes end up with Nmap

the batch files they write to do the scans.

Heh ya. Probably the smart ones leave no evidence.

I'm not sure why this reminds me but I recently had a chance to
screw around with my buddy's jailbroken iphone. There's this
sweet program called Cydia and you can run Nmap on the iphone!
