Am currently working with a customer to map their network prior to penetration/vulnerability testing using NMap. Customer doesn't allow Ping and wants 65000 ports tested. Since we can't Ping, NMap takes a long time to test a single host resulting in a very long testing period. We've tried setting a time-out value of 30 seconds but end up missing hosts with this value. Has anyone had an experience like this and if so, any recommendations to efficiently map a network without Ping?
nmap -sS -vvv -PS -p 1-65000 -O -T Sneaky host_range should work for you. If not, do -T Paranoid, and wait a few days. (-PS may be a rather new addition, I'm using nmap V. 2.54BETA22, upgrade if needed)
