The big downside is that not all systems follow RFC 793 to the letter. A number of systems send RST responses to the probes regardless of whether the port is open or not. This causes all of the ports to be labeled closed. Major operating systems that do this are Microsoft Windows,.
OK but the question said that all the ports are opened, and the output of a null scan targeting a windows box is all closed, is this correct?
