I have sniffed the traffic when i have used -S option. No original IP address are sent over the network and destination system responds to spoofed IP address so nmap cannot capture TCP flags used in TCP packet.

Thanks you all.

If you read Nmap’s man page, under the –S option flag, you can see the
“Note”:

/////////////////////
Note that you usually won't receive reply packets back (they will be
addressed to the IP you are spoofing), so Nmap won't produce useful
reports.
/////////////////////

Hello,

When i use "nmap -sS targetaddress -S spoofaddress -e eth0" command, nmap
does not show open ports at end of scan.
i wanna know whether this is normal case or not.
do i misuse nmap options?
Because when i use nmap with "nmap -sS targetaddress", nmap shows me open
ports at the end of scan.

Thanks,

Kind regards,

Baris Erdogan
