Background: The scan can go on for a while if you are scanning firewalled hosts. There are nmap switches to increase ports per second, but how much? I am now releasing a new better version of the patch that works with nmap 3.20. (Not tested with nmap 3.25) nmap 3.20 statistics patch: I have added a switch that prints two lines of statistics. The new -c switch guesses how long time the scan will take. Output example: Starting nmap V. 3.20 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Tried: 192 (150 resends) P/S: 12.00 ETS: 9 The -c switch shows how many ports that has been tested, resends, ports per second and the estimated remaining time of scan. Patch with: tar -xvjf nmap-3.2X.tar.bz2 cd nmap-3.2X patch -p1 < PATH_TO/nmap-3.20_statistics-1.diff nmap-3.20_statistics-1.diff is a nmap hack. It is not an official nmap patch. Feel free to forward it if you like it. //Ian Vitek mailto:remove.ian.vitekat_private (remove remove) The release will take place at Lackerbiten (Stockholm, Sweden) 2003-04-24 18:00.
