Hi all, 

What about adding some sort of "Full Port Scan" or something scanning all 
65536 tcp ports? I usually add it by hand.
What about an udp quick scan? it's sometimes overlook and it's usually 
important

Hi all,

Vladimir is going to post some big Zenmap news before long, so before
that happens and takes all your attention I'd like you to consider a
smaller issue.

Zenmap ships with a number of scan profiles. The list of profiles has
remained essentially unchanged for a year or more. I want your input on
which should stay and which should go. Of course a user can always
create her own profiles, but useful details are a big part of usable
software. The current list of profiles is

      [Intense Scan]
      nmap -A -T Aggressive -v <target>

      [Operating System Detection]
      nmap -v -O <target>

      [Quick Full version Detection Scan]
      nmap -T Aggressive -O -sV -v -n <target>

      [Quick Operating System detection]
      nmap -T Aggressive -v -O <target>

      [Quick Scan]
      nmap -T Aggressive -n -v <target>

      [Quick Services version detection]
      nmap -T Aggressive -sV -v <target>

      [Quick and verbose scan]
      nmap -d -T Aggressive --packet-trace -v -n <target>

      [Regular Scan]
      nmap -v <target>

I think that "Intense Scan", "Quick Scan", and "Regular Scan" should
stay as they are. I would keep "Quick Services version detection" but
rename it "Version detection". Delete "Operating System Detection" and
give that name to "Quick Operating System detection". Keep "Quick and
verbose scan" but get rid of --packet-trace because that has surprised
me more than once. Delete "Quick Full version Detection Scan". Then I
would add

      [Ping scan]
      nmap -T Aggressive -sP <target>

Those are my recommended changes. Any other suggestions?

Finally, if you have used Zenmap you've probably noticed that it used
"-T Aggressive" rather than "-T4". I prefer the latter form and it
matches better with our documentation. It's an easy change to make if
you agree with me.
