+ZMap is a fast network scanner designed for Internet-wide network
+surveys. On a typical desktop computer with a gigabit Ethernet
+connection, ZMap is capable scanning the entire public IPv4 address
+space in under five minutes.
+
+ZMap can be used to study protocol adoption over time, monitor service availability
+and help us better understand large systems distributed across the Internet.
+
+WARNING: While ZMap is a powerful tool for researchers, please keep in mind that
+by running ZMap, you are potentially scanning the ENTIRE IPv4 address space
+and some users may not appreciate your scanning.
+We encourage ZMap users to respect requests to stop scanning and to exclude
+these networks from ongoing scanning.
