A Chairde,

   Havin, some issues with scanning stacks on my system.

1. Using Superscan4 , I scan stack UDP-TCP 1-65534 , Sometimes I get no ports open , another time I get 49159 UDP Ports open, only get port report, no attempt made to open any ports ... , when get open ports , I always get 49159 UDP Ports ...... , use the scanner at 250msecs , takes around 16 hours to finish.

Check out Unicornscan. And while your at it look at Scanrand too. Unicornscan attempts to get around the issue with UDP scanning by pre-defining certain UDP payloads to send for each known service which can produce more accurate results. It will help with 20 or so of the ports.

It's detailed in the first Q&A:
