In our Nmap lab we will learn and understand how to:

- perform a slow comprensive scan
- create a new profile to perform a nul scan
- scan TCP and UDP ports
- Analyze host details and their topology

Involves sending TCP segments with the all flags sent in the packet header, generating packets taht are illegal according to RFC 793.
ACK Flag Scan
Involves sending spoofed packets to a target.
