Re: inconsistent nmap results

Well maybe there's some kind of IPS/firewall that detects portscans and
starts dropping packets? Try doing a much slower scan and see what
results you get. Or try something like
nmap -sS -P0 -r -p10443-65535 xx.xx.xx.yy -T4

I have had some abnormal results using nmap 4.10 to do a syn TCP scan on
a particuylar external network range. When i ran the scan as a full port
scan of 0-65535, all ports are found to be filtered. Yet we know that
port 10443 is open, and when i do a scan on that port, it is found to be
open.

This has meant a number of open ports have been missed in scanning this
range.

Is there something obvious that i have omitted, other more usual ports
were found open on other hosts.

# Nmap 4.10 scan: nmap -sS -P0 -p0-65535 -T4 -oA outputfile
xx.xx.xx.xx/24 

All 65536 scanned ports on host (xx.xx.xx.yy) are filtered

----------------------------------------------------------------
nmap -sS -P0 -p10443 xx.xx.xx.yy -T4
Starting Nmap 4.10

Interesting ports on host (xx.xx.xx.yy):
PORT      STATE SERVICE
10443/tcp open  unknown

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 4.560 seconds

thanks for your time
