I have a class B net, chopped up into variously sized subnets. Can the "/##" an address spec be any sized mask? /22 ? /20 ?
I've been scanning variably sized subnets w/o any trouble (except when I forget and scan the wrong subnet). /18 /20, etc. is no problem.
Also, I noticed that nmap will scan the net address and broadcast address themselves. Should it not be coded to not scan these? Or perhaps a more flexible language for specifying address such as "x.x.x.x/xx EXCEPT x.x.x.x ..." ?
I'd think that you'd be better having it not scan the net & broadcast for the specified net mask with an override switch to force the other behavior. It gets the functionality you suggest w/o changing any of the language/grammar ... or minimally so. andrew.
