According to Agustin Navarro:
%nmap -sT -O -p 1-1024 -n -m nmaplog.txt XXX.YYY.*.* The next day, the people from the field operations department told me that the scan had caused the HP-UX servers to freeze but could not explain why this could have happened. My questions: Is it reasonable to expect something like this to happen ? Have any of you heard anything like this before ??
in 12/98 and 01/99 there've been several postings on the bugtraq mailinglist that nmap crashed something. Browsing through the archives on http://www.geek-girl.com/bugtraq you'll find a posting related to your hp-ux problem which I've attached for your convenience. To make it more worse, you can crash Cisco IOS 12.X with nmap -sU -p514 <router>. That's what happened to me as a used nmap the first time.

I reproducible crashed Cisco routers running IOS version 12.0(1) with nmap -sU. Olaf
