FEATURE REQUEST: Add global option --exclude or --exclude-file to exclude addresses/hostnames

[mzpqnxow]

Many mass network probe tools support --exclude or similar, where the user can provide a list of hostnames or IP addresses and the tool will skip over any probe that would have went to that host.

This is a very useful and relatively simple feature. It can of course be done by pre-processing the list you provide to zgrab2, but that can be clunky, especially when using zgrab2 at a very large scale (think LANs with > 250000 nodes, or edges with 50000 FQDNs)

Is this something that would be considered as a reasonable feature?

A benefit to the functionality would be the ability to exclude addresses when using hostnames.

This isn't a priority for me, no time 😞
