Saad, -PN is a no-ping scan. It's tricky to find, since it implies the absence of code to do a ping. The relevant code to the option is in nmap.cc, line 1064, which sets o.pingtype = PINGTYPE_NONE. o.pingtype is an integer that holds a number of flag values. Using -PN blanks them all out, so that when scan_engine.cc tests for any of the valid ping types, none of them is found.
