Dear Luchino Samel,
It raises the limit of HALF-OPEN connections in Windows XP SP2,
Microsoft limited the stack to only be able to have max 10 half open
tcp connections, which is of course very bad for scanning. Hence
you have to apply the patch before the scan...btw it's a general
recommendation for windows xp sp2.
