Some IPS seem to detect and block nmap probes due to hard-coded TCP receive
window size of 1024.

Add --win option to set any receive window size 0 < win < 65535 to avoid
being
detected by hard-coded window size 1024.

(...) 

Solutions which are "smart" enough to solve problems without requiring the
user to specify some obscure option are likely to improve the scanning
experience for far more people. 

The question is then - can you think of a smart way to detect that this
specific window size is blocked?
