Just realized that I fell victim to "overscanning" myself here. The Nmap command should use -Pn -n, since you probably don't want to run this on a host that's not confirmed up, and there's no point in re-accomplishing the reverse DNS lookup. Just an example.

Something a bit like the following example. nmap -sA -sT -sI -sF -sW -p 22 localhost Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-12-10 14:54 CET Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1) Host is up (0.000089s latency). PORT STATE(sA) STATE(sT) STATE(sI) STATE(sF) STATE(sW) SERVICE 22/tcp unfiltered open unknown open|filtered closed ssh Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.04 second This would be very useful for working out the best scan type for a specific network or device and would love to see it implemented. JohnI would not discourage someone from attempting to implement this, but I wouldn't recommend using it. When I try to help someone with an Nmap scan, the most common thing I end up doing is *removing* parts of their scan. I feel that an Nmap scan should be targeted to the kind of information that is desired, and that when people complain about Nmap's slowness, it is because they are trying to do too much (e.g. -A, --script all, etc.) at once. Some considerations for the implementer: * How will NSE portrules work when the port is in multiple states? * How can this be made better than a shell script that runs each type in sequence? Example Perl script is attached. Dan
