First of thank you to everyone for taking you time to answer my
questions and being so helpful

after some further investigation into port 80 on my host
securityoveride.com i discovered that the port would change from open to
filtered just by doing a bunch of scans one right after each other
i also followed this on wireshark and could see that a [SYN,ACK] was
sent back for every [SYN] even the ones that said filtered.
So im still confused

Hey,

I could not reproduce this, after scanning securityoveride.com on port
80 five times consecutively nmap reported port 80 open all five times.
This discrepancy may be caused by a firewall on the scanning host, or
a bug in nmap that requires a very specific set of circumstances to be
triggered.

You may want to retry the scans from a different host.
