Re: Nmap scanning speed

[Chris Moody <chris () siliconhotrod com>]

Or...if you need to scan REALLY large data sets in a fast 
manner...something along the lines of paketto is nice.  It's designed in 
a non-blocking manner so scans happen very quickly.

If nmap is the suite you have to use, try disabling name lookups as 
well.  A port range can speed up too...but isn't applicable in all 
situations.

Cheers,
