Experimenting with nmap

experimenting with some of the option Nmap provides:

shows a whole load of packets being sent from my ip and various ports to the target IP and various ports

--packet-trace #explanation is always above

shows reason why port is open and what type of packet was sent as well as Time To Live of each packet

--reason

produced the same result as when using straight up "nmap target"

-- priviliged & -- unpriviliged 

tried the "not intrusive" script. Interestingly enough, I think it found more stuff about my network than about the target

--script "not intrusive"
