Please, do it:

time nmap -p 0-65535 $target

You will be surprised (and nmap will not report applications; to test a
response, multiply time at 5 ). And you will have approx. 40% of packets
lost.

Practically, nmap is useless for this purpose.


Somebody who isn't smart enough to do 'nmap -p 0-65535 $target' isn't
worth
