How much bandwidth will this be taking up, and roughly how much will be
uploaded/downloaded? I've cloned the repo, but I'm nervous about running
this if it's going to be a significant bandwidth hog for a whole week.
As Aaron said in Issue 39, it looks like it's going to be a lot of IPs
and a large amount of packets. Also, ISPs may not take kindly to all
these scans. What's the word on that? Has anyone run this tool, and
what's their opinion? I'd be happy to help, but I'd like to know the
full details of the various resources this tool will be consuming.
