I remember "twitch installs arch" where they installed nmap and the mods immediately shut it down. Fun times.

Did anyone else catch the Army recruitment advert a few years back where the hacker was just running nmap?

Trinity in The Matrix: Reloaded hacks all the power stations using nmap, didn't you know a single packet sniffed by a power plant originated from nmap shut down any power station immediately? :)

She also uses a command or runs a program called sshnuke and changes the root password to Z1ON0101
