Re: NMAP Concurrent Scans

It may return false result due to ids/firewall rules. If there's no
firewall, you won't need to do xmas scan. So I understand that the
host is protected somehow. In this case (scanning with all techniques
in the same time), the result wouldn't be reliable.

You should perform the scan using techniques in an order from paranoid
level of sensivity to connect scan.

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to NMAP. I have a curious question that I
wanted to get expert opinion on...

I was wondering whether running SYN, FIN, XMAS, NULL
and ACK scans in parallel on a target generate false
results. Since same client IP is  asking for opening &
closing a connection on target machine will it not
 render some ports open and other closed in the
report?
