2. I just ment that through the --interactive mode you can normally
execute shell commands. (But as you said, it's not an issue on your
site.)

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!
