> doing unwarranted nmap scans is considered network abuse
After almost being physically ejected from a secure data centre because a member of my group used nmap to see if a port was open, I recommend starting with telnet. :)
A wide nmap is probably going to trigger an IDS, and then you get to meet interesting people and answer interesting questions.

There’s something wrong with your org if nmap scans trigger alerts/bring down machines. There’s so many rogue devices scanning networks nowadays that’d I’d be surprised if anyone had port scanning enabled in the filters to minimize false positives.
