Decreasing the aggressiveness of a scan by setting the timing to '-T 0' helps in evading intrusion detection systems.
False
True
Setting the timing template to -T0 in network scanning tools like Nmap significantly reduces the aggressiveness of the scan. This timing setting, known as "paranoid," introduces long delays between each scan attempt. The intention is to avoid detection by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and similar security mechanisms that monitor network traffic for unusual or suspicious activities.
Here is an overview of the Nmap timing templates:
-T0 (Paranoid): Very slow, designed to evade highly sensitive IDS. -T1 (Sneaky): Slower, but still cautious to avoid detection. -T2 (Polite): Slows down the scan to use less bandwidth and target resources. -T3 (Normal): Default scan setting. -T4 (Aggressive): Faster scan, more likely to be detected. -T5 (Insane): Very fast, but highly detectable.
Using -T0 makes the scan much less noticeable but can take a significantly longer time to complete. This method is often used in situations where stealth is critical.
