Re: nmap scan results

["Ivan Coric" <ivan.coric () workcoverqld com au>]

Filtered
       means that a firewall, filter, or other network  obstacle  is 
covering
       the port and preventing nmap from determining whether the port
is open.

I have been unhappy with many of the port scanners out there and I'm
just starting to learn the power of nmap.

I've been reviewing nmap scan results on my network.  If a port comes
back 
as filtered does that mean that it is open, closed, firewalled, or just

unknown?
