When I run this scan
nmap -sn 192.168.9.0/25

nmap pings the address range (expected result )
but it also sends syn packets to tcp port 443 on each of the IP's
And it sends ack packets to port 80

I noticed this back in pervious versions and thought someone would submit a bug fix.
I currently have version 7.40 for windows.
Let me know if you need any more information.
