How it works...

The argument -iR 100 tells Nmap to generate 100 external IP addresses and use them as targets in the specified scan. This target assignment can be used with any combination of scan flags.

While this is a useful feature for conducting Internet research, I recommend you to be careful with this flag. Nmap does not have control over the external IP addresses it generates; this means that inside the generated list could be a critical machine that is being heavily monitored. To avoid getting into trouble, use this feature wisely.
