More than one portscan?

[Scott C. Kennedy]

If I decide to enable all plugins, how many times, will I portscan a host?

In other words, if I have the following Portscan options set..

Nmap
SYN Scan
TCP connect()

and am scanning all 65535 ports, I will hit each TCP port 3 seperate times?

I did this test on my home network, scanning a host that was up and looking for port #1 (which wasn't open)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sck]$ sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -i eth1 host 192.168.8.2 and port 1
tcpdump: listening on eth1
13:01:33.539232 192.168.8.4.5063 > 192.168.8.2.1: S 3489694628:3489694628(0) win 16

And I hit the same port, with different port scan types, mind you.
