in thread printing during process

"the script runs for 1 hundred thousand scans, always looking for vulnerabilities and sleeping 1 second in between"

So the sleep process, alone ((100_000/60)/60), eats up nearly 28 hours? Is it even sane to spread your output over more than a day?

    It would be if: the site(s) are not your own and don't want to set off a scanning alert in the ISP, don't intentionally want to dos the target and don't know that sleep can sleep for less than a second at a time, or running the program at a slow pace to sample its output until the output is what is desired.

    Looks almost like a piece of a brute force dos widget with a one second delay :)
