Unethical? Well, using those IP addresses, I would assume that this is an unroutable segment of your network (perhaps a private or management segment) rather than a public address. Using scanning tools such as have been mentioned on the public internet is probably unethical and might get your connection blocked by your service provider too. The tools can be used to look for weaknesses on the public internet so everyone is very wary of them and providers are quite hot on keeping their customers clean else other providers may block them out too.
Probing your own devices to see what ports are open, filtered or closed seems a valid thing to do, but don't go mad on it.
Kind regards,
Robin

NAME
fasttrap - DTrace user instruction tracing provider
DESCRIPTION
The fasttrap driver is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation of arbitrary instructions in Solaris pro-
cesses. The fasttrap driver implements the DTrace fasttrap and pid providers.
The fasttrap driver is not a public interface and you access instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the Solaris
Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes offered by the
fasttrap provider.
SPARC ONLY
The fasttrap provider provides a DTrace probe that fires each time a user process executes an instruction. The pid provider allows for the
dynamic creation of DTrace probes corresponding to instruction locations inside any user process specified using a process ID and an
instruction address or symbol name. Together these providers permit DTrace users to perform instrumentation of Solaris user processes and
to trace the interactions between processes and the operating system. See the chapter entitled "User Process Tracing" in the Solaris
Dynamic Tracing Guide for information on how to use these providers to instrument processes.
