Re: nmap -S option

When targetaddress recieves incoming SYN packets from your scan it will
see they have a source address of spoofaddress and send its replies to
spoofaddress. So unless you have a way of sniffing an intermediary router
between targetaddress and spoofaddress you will have no way of seeing if
the target is replying and thus get no ports open.
