TCP Maimon scan

This scan technique is very similar to NULL, FIN, and Xmas scan, but the probe used here is

FIN/ACK. In most cases, to determine if the port is open or closed, the RST packet should be generated as a response to a probe request. However, in many BSD systems, the port is open if the packet gets dropped in response to a probe.
