Sure feel free to to scan anything on the internet with Nmap that you want to. When your internet connection gets canceled, you can try to explain to mommy & daddy why they can't get their email anymore.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
I asked because, in tutorials i have seen nmap using to scan only local networks.
That's because most of the time, it's explicitly against the TOS/AUP of your ISP to be conducting recon against other networks. And there are people out there (like me) that detect such things and report them to their ISP's and have their accounts canceled for violating the TOS/AUP.Originally Posted by ranees
Basically, you have no business running nmap against a network across the internet without explicit permission of the network owner and your ISP.

Then how criminals attack into machines over internet??
"Hackers" don't. Criminals do. Try to keep the terms straight.
Most of the attacks come from countries where the laws and ISP policies are either not strict or not enforced.

Obviously if a criminal with bad intentions is attacking a machine he probably has little concern for a ISP's terms of service because what he's doing is illegal. On the other hand if some one is hired to legally carry out a penetration test the ISP is normally contacted and apprised of the test or the testing company already has such policies in place with ISP's.Then how hackers attack into machines over internet??

nmap
Surprisingly not all malicious attackers use the proper procedures or follow the rules when running scans. They can hop on open networks or maybe they are from countries with less stringent laws. A lot of times they are just people who don't know better and get upset when they have their internet access ganked by the ISP.
Sanctioned pen-testers will have the proper clearance from the entities they are scanning and their originating ISPs.
Attacks have a tendency to come from all over.
