      Mapper, Multi Packet Type Network Connectivity Tester
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DETAILS

    Mapper is a connectivity tester. Like when you ping a host to see if it is
    up, if the host sends an echo reply back then it is alive. With security
    awareness heightening pinging a host is becoming less effective due to
    firewalling. Mapper uses other "features" in TCP/IP to gain responses out
    of hosts.

    It will test using the following techniques:
     * TcpSyn
     * TcpAck
     * TcpSynAck
     * TcpFin
     * TcpNull
     * TcpXmas
     * IcmpEcho
