Most of you seem to be missing the point - the FBI is attempting to investigate /specific incidences/ of probable crime. You downloading NMAP or settting up a mirror isn't going to accomplish anything beyond wasting your bandwidth.

Second, why would you want to impair the ability of law enforcement? This is not a 'fishing trip' - they're asking for logs of five-minute windows. They're looking for someone specific. If the law enforcement authority has properly completed and served documentation, which ought to be a no-brainer, then it is the Security Professional's role to assist and cooperate. What's the problem?

Seems to me that this board has been swamped with wannabe 1337 haXors. Get lost - we're all grown-ups here, and we have work to do.
