Hi dude, What happens if you try with the '-P0' switch ? I beleve you should've tried something like this: 'nmap -vsS -P0
<address>' because the '-PN' switch will only treat host as online. I don't think it is gonna work, but it's only a guess.
I hope it's usefull... 2008/7/29 Michael Kitange <michaelkitange () gmail com>hi, i tried to nmap a site and it said that the pings are blocked and i had to use the '-PN' switch. well the result which i got was that all the posts were open. though if i telnet to those posts, they appear to be closed. can that be done? fooling that all ports are open on the server if it can be, then how? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Top 5 Common Mistakes in Securing Web Applications Get 45 Min Video and PPT Slides www.cenzic.com/landing/securityfocus/hackinar ------------------------------------------------------------------------
