RE: scanning tools
Reminds me of some funny stories I have from when I worked in abuse at an
ISP.
One such pinhead called up and demanded to know why we were scanning port 53
on his network. Turns out a domain was registered that pointed to
non-existent name servers on his network and they were using the domain to
send mail.

nmap can do that, just be sure to only use ping scanning to avoid port
scanning everyone (time consuming and may infuriate anal retentive
pinheads who have been mis-promoted to network administration status).
