Synopsis
It is possible to determine which TCP ports are open.Description
This plugin is a SYN 'half-open' port scanner. It shall be reasonably quick even against a firewalled target.Note that SYN scans are less intrusive than TCP (full connect) scans against broken services, but they might cause problems for less robust firewalls and also leave unclosed connections on the remote target, if the network is loaded.
Solution
Protect your target with an IP filter.Plugin Details
