You would not sue anyone. Thats just saying that you would sue anyone under the sun trying to ping or go after some bot 
trying to scan your Apache box for IIS 5 vulnerabilities. My point is, even if you did realize someone was actively 
scanning your host, there would be nothing you could do, I think it would be too time consuming. Yet your question 
still stands. Is it legal or illegal?
