Hi all,

Is there a way I can tell nmap to scan all TCP ports, but only the top, say,
200 most common UDP ports?  My first thought was to use "top-ports 200" and
specifying only TCP ports with p (-p T:1-65535), but it seems that
specifying specific TCP ports  overrides the top port selection for UDP.


No, there's not a way to do that, but I have wanted such a capability
before too. We could maybe allow --top-ports and -p to coexist (and
-F -p), doing as you suggest: top ports for anything not overridden by
-p.
