It is only peripherally related to Nmap, but there was a lot of news yesterday regarding vaguely described attacks on TCP services. The research was done by the UnicornScan folks. I've speculated on the details and implications here: http://insecure.org/stf/tcp-dos-attack-explained.html Cheers, -F
I have to say, Ill be highly disappointed if you are correct. As you pointed out, this attack is really old and if I'm not mistaken can be resolved with the iptables limit feature.
