Well, you *are* telling nmap to do a ping-scan (-sP) which doesn't use ports, but then you specify ports as well.This is not correct. from the nmap man page: <snip> The -sP option sends an ICMP echo request and a TCP packet to port 80 by default. When executed by an unprivileged user, a SYN packet is sent (using a connect() call) to port 80 on the </snip> IMHO -sP should respect -p
Touché. I should rtfm more carefully or, as in this case, at all :-) I'm still not sure it makes sense though, unless you use the scan option to control output (i.e. make hosts responding to any of the tcp-ports given in the range show as "up", but nothing else). Oh well. I'm sure it'll all turn out for the best. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson () op5 se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
