The connect() system call provided by your operating system is used to open a connection to every interesting port on the machine.

Nmap can do this by sending ICMP echo request packets to every IP address on the networks you specify. Hosts that respond are up. Unfortunately, some sites such as microsoft.com block echo request packets. Thus nmap can also send a TCP ack packet to (by default) port 80. If we get an RST back, that machine is up. A third technique involves sending a SYN packet and waiting for a RST or a SYN/ACK. For non-root users, a connect() method is used.</description> + <description>Ping scanning: Sometimes you only want to know which hosts on a network are up.

The tech- nique is to send 0 byte UDP packets to each port on the target machine. If we receive an ICMP port unreachable message, then the port is closed. Otherwise we assume it is open. Unfortunately, firewalls often block the port unreachable messages, causing the port to appear open. Sometimes an ISP will block only a few specific dangerous ports such as 31337 (back orifice) and 139 (Windows NetBIOS), making it look like these vulnerable ports are open. So don't panic immediately. Unfortunately, it isn't always trivial to differentiate between real open UDP ports and these filtered false-positives.</description> + <description>This method is used to determine which UDP (User Datagram Protocol, RFC 768) ports are open on a host.
