and it stated something about to many fingerprints?

'All ports scanned are filtered' means exactly what it says, your target computer filters incoming packets based on certain criteria for all ports. Depending on how the firewall at the target computer's end is configured its probably a good thing (assuming you're testing out how secure it is).
Too many possible fingerprints afaik means it can't determine the OS of the target computer, because the computer fits too many of its OS fingerprints.
From where can i download this prog?
Have you tried the program's website? www.nmap.com
Or just go here to download it http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_download.html . :killcompu
Thanks
ii-monk: get nmap for linux, it is much more stable than the windows version.
Thanks begki. I know that linux are more stable than windows generally.
:D spread the word
i will do it.
Yeah I definitely suggest the Linux version. I have nothing but problems with windows when I use Nmap.
Listen guys we don't have to repeat the same things over and over. Please...
hrmmm....well i guess my answear to whoever started this post would have to be, read either: the man pages, read a tut on stateful-packet filters, and read about the TCP/IP stack...or better yet, just read all three plus some, hope this helped, take it easy people.
If you have linux installed nmap comes with it. All you have to do "man nmap" without any quotes ofcourse, and it will give you some basic knowledge of nmap.
If I remind well, a text-file version of the Nmap man page is included with the Windows version. So , simply check your installation directory to find this file and you will have good explanations about what Nmap is saying to you.

I hate windows
