    You can modify a source code of nmap to generate the same
activity from other hosts not your own. The result of this is
absolutely "noisy". Your target can't uderstand who is a real source of
activity.
    If you have access to somebody traffic (for example you have a
router or you have a DVB-card and acces to satellite streams) then you can
make a tcp-session and nessus (etc...) scan from other hosts not your own.
