Hello, I would have a question. I would first like to apology and I didn't know what I did. I just nmaped 1.1.1.1 becouse I was bored and didn't know it was ilegal. Is there any way to apology for it, I didn't mean to couse any harm I just found nmap command in /bin directory and decided to use it as if it was ping command. Sorry

Your port scan was probably not even noticed on 1.1.1.1 given the amount of traffic they handle
What if they did?
Not Cloudflare employee but given the traffic Cloudflare handles very hard to notice something that small. Plus technically port scanning is legal
So what do you think could potentialy happen?
Nothing
Ok but port scanning is legal with permition
Port scanning is generally legal because you're making requests across the internet. Again depends on countries
People are likely NMAP-ing other Cloudflare IPs every day, I wouldnt worry about it
Really?
Yeah. The internet is scanned all the time.
Yeah but with permition
