Re: A Problem with Nmap - All Ports are classified as open no matter what IP address I scan

Thanks for replying everyone!
I was thinking, maybe in future versions of Nmap, this problem could be
addresses in some shape or form if possible. It doesn't really matter, but
it would be nice.

On the legalese on port scanning, a chapter in the nmap book has pointers on
it

--------------------------------
<http://nmap.org/book/legal-issues.html#legal-crime>I've bought the official
Nmap guide, and I am currently about to start reading chapter five. I don't
think Federal Agents will be busting down my door for Port Scanning some
system. After all, it isn't technically illegal and even if it was, they
have better things to be doing; bigger fish to fry. Most system admins
wouldn't notice anyway. Half don't check their logs, and the other half
would only notice "yet another scan" from the thousands that they would
receive a day from network worms, and other scans.

Cheers,
