Proxy scanning

Yesterday David and I were talking about proxy scanning, which has been on the Nmap TODO list for many years. One of the strongest signals that users really want something is when they go through major pains and contortions to get it working by any means possible. For example, PaulDotComTV released a video a few days ago which shows the contortions they're using for proxy scanning with Nmap: http://vimeo.com/6238958?hd=1 In this video, they use proxychains to proxify Nmap. Then they run a Privoxy proxy server which in turn talks to tortunnel to send the data through a Tor exit node. Amazingly, Nmap still seems to work through all this :). But it will work far better when we support proxying scans (including connect scans + version detection and NSE) natively. The video does include some important tips, such as using -P0 (-PN).
