No more! :-) I have stopped talking and implemented my own suggestions. The results look great so far - nmap-3.78 now seems even faster than nmap-3.55 in scenarious I was complaning about. On Thu, Dec 16, 2004 at 01:22:32PM +0100, Martin Mačok wrote:
Which suggests that clever implementation shouldn't be waiting for an ICMP response for *every* port
See attached nmap-3.78-defeat_ICMP_ratelimit.patch Basically, it should avoid recomputing of RTT (and number of retransmissions) when it receives ICMP unreachable in scantypes that shouldn't need ICMP reponse for every port (i.e. when getting nothing or getting ICMP unreachable does not end in different port state). I hope it does not break anything. Please review and test it.
You're right that adding more explicit controls over the maximum number of retransmissions may be worthwhile.
See nmap-3.78-option-max_retransmissions.patch I have limited max number of retransmissions from 13 to 10 by default and set to even lower number when -T4 or -T5 is used. User can explicitely set it with --max_retransmissions (must be >=0). See nmap-3.78-cosmetics.patch too. Thank you Martin Mačok IT Security Consultant
