I covered the "-f" and "-f -f" cases, but forgot to adjust the separate -ff flag. Fixed for 3.81.My original version was doing 8 for -ff and 16 for -f. I recommend this patch to get mtu=8 for '-ff', '-f -f' or '--mtu 8' and mtu=16 for '-f' or '--mtu 16':I have a slight preference for having one -f do the smallest fragment size (8) with the mtu getting bigger for each additional -f (so 16 for -ff). So this is what I'll do for Nmap 3.81 unless there is a good reason for doing the opposite?
I would say the other way around is more intuitive. It feels logical that -f means "fragment" and -ff (or -f -f) means "fragment more/more fragments". Perhaps there are other issues, but as always on monday mornings I speak before I can think things through.
