It may return false result due to ids/firewall rules. If there's no
firewall, you won't need to do xmas scan. So I understand that the
host is protected somehow. In this case (scanning with all techniques
in the same time), the result wouldn't be reliable.
You should perform the scan using techniques in an order from paranoid
level of sensivity to connect scan.
