Hello All, Today I was scanning using an unreliable network (shared wireless) and had some packet loss. I had root access to the host I was scanning, which allowed me to review the firewall logs and run a tcpdump of the traffic. There was 2% to 20% packet loss, depending upon --max-parallelism and --min-parallelism settings. The host had two ports open and four ports closed, will all the others filtered. Even with what seemed the default two retransmissions there still was loss.
Did you get wrong results with the default Nmap timing behavior, or had you also specified aggressive timing options such as --min-parallelism when this happened?
