change to nmap output??

["Mike ." <dmciscobgp () hotmail com>]

hello all


i might be the only one that is in favor of this, but gonna toss it out there anyway. when i do i scan, i just want the 
results, mainly, as in what is open/closed/filtered, etc. if i am doing NSE stuff, i turn on higher debugging. for 
watching payloads and script info. i brought this up to Daniel a few times and he told me to make my feelings known 
about nmap here. ok. when we do scans from the cmd console in real time, do we really need the endless output of 
CLOSED/FILTERED ports like this---->


Discovered closed port 10024/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 5440/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 6025/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 8194/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 4279/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 61900/tcp on 192.168.0.1

Discovered closed port 3878/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 8292/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 1050/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 1063/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 1247/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 407/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 5051/tcp on 192.168.0.1
Discovered closed port 1287/tcp on 192.168.0.1
(ete etc etc)


or do we wanna see this, instead?


Not shown: 995 filtered ports
Reason: 995 no-responses (would like to see this output as a default/standard)


if i see that, after doing, say a TOP 1000 port scan, wouldn't it be easy for me to deduce the output? 5 responses/rest 
filtered-closed? (without having to see that useless long output above)


i guess what i am asking is, why the need for a user to see an endlessly long list of what what is closed/filtered? i 
use d2 and whatever you try, using grep or findstr, you cannot filter out that long list. why does a user need to see 
that long output when "not shown: blah" is a perfect representation for the scan results? hopefully this makes sense
