Nmap Developers Release a Picture of the Web

iago-vL writes "The Nmap Project recently posted an awesome visualization of the top million site icons (favicons) on the Web, sized by relative popularity of sites. This project used the Nmap Scripting Engine, which is capable of performing discovery, vulnerability detection, and anything else you can imagine with lightning speed. We saw last month how an Nmap developer downloaded 170 million Facebook names, and this month it's a million favicons; I wonder what they'll do next?"

Re:The ico format supports better resolutions

Looking at the image provided, it's pretty clear that even major sites don't use that feature of the ICO format. I bet all of them have Apple icons.
