Re[2]: nmap+V

I personally would like to see a banner grab added to the list
of nmap options. Actually I'd like it as a default for -sT scans
privileged or unprivileged users.

Coupling it with syn or other scans seems pointless. Obviously you're
not going to get a banner with anything short of a full connect.

Hi,

Ah cool. Feature request - be able to do banner grab without doing syn

first to see if open since if you're going to send a syn and then
banner grab
you might as well banner grab in the first place - from memory think
this is
a problem with nmap+V.

The syn scan avoids the kernel's tcp implementation and does raw IP
itself. After this, it's not generally possible to go back to using the
kernel's tcp sockets, without starting the connection from scratch. So
to support this nmap would need to contain either a full tcp
implementation, or some highly platform specific hack.
