iXsecurity Patch
nmap hack to get timing statistics
==================================

Tool Description
- - ------------
This patch is intended for the nmap-2.54BETA30.
The patch will add a -c switch.
The -c switch will add two rows of statistics when running nmap.

Screen shot
- - -------
root () host:/tmp# nmap -sS -v -c -p 1- 10.1.1.1

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA30IX ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Host  (10.1.1.1) appears to be up ... good.
Initiating SYN Stealth Scan against  (10.1.1.1)
Adding open port 427/tcp
Tried: 11835 (0 resends)
P/S:  2958.75 ETS:      18

- - -------
Legend:
Tried is ports tried
Resends is number of resends (usually firewalled ports)
P/S is ports per second
ETS is estimated time of scan (+-2 seconds if MANY resends)

Background
- - ------
When performing pen-tests you realy want to know how long time
the scan will take. You also want to know how the timing options
will affect the time of the scan.
