how likely am I to get in trouble for doing some network scans with nmap? I was using my school wifi and I was scanning this tech websites ports just out of curiosity and I never did anything with this info but now Im worried that I might get in trouble for unauthorised scans. How likely is that? Also how can I practice better OPSEC in the future? I should probably get a vpn but idk which one to get.
>>84010556Its not illegal to nmapIf you used some of the built in brute forcing scripts you will could get in trouble(still unlikely) but if you just shot some malformed packets syn their way you are fine
>>84010629Ah thanks anon. That makes me feel better. No nothing like that just a couple basic scans with -sn and -sS. But thanks for telling me that. That was a scare. Im going to do really good opsec now
