It is cool to gain speed but careful ! 馃殥

When scanning a single IP, opening as much file descriptors (sockets) on the specified IP can be harmfull.

Example: "Do not use this tool against sensitive infrastructure blah blah blah"

Thank you! I will add this to the next release :)
I didn't expect people to actually use this on real world targets, this was originally just for my CTF team 馃槄

@SakiiR Should I add this to #usage of the README and the help menu? And perhaps if file limit ls larger than X, it prints the warning too?

This is now in the help menu:

many socket connections at once.

Okay, it warns 4 times:

Once in help menu
Once on the README
When it suggests upping the ulimit, it warns (it does this twice in the code)
