RE: faster scans? (nmap)

Another solution i used before to use is quite similar to this one...
But i was forging packets for targeted host, and putting my computer in
sniffing mode (tcpdump +tcpslice)
Then a tiny script was getting hosts from which i got response. Like this,
sending packet is very fast and your net stack is not suffering from number
of connections, because there isn't ;)

Have a nice day =)
