Here is the problem. I have 9 IP blocks to monitor on a weekly basis for the addition of hosts. I have written a script that uses socket(), however, I don't want the whole socket, as it takes too much time. All I want is: 
My station                target host
syn---------------------->
   <--------------------- syn/ack
rst---------------------->

I have everything the script working with the socket() for my block of IP's, but want to reduce the load. Thus changing the code to only use the syn, syn/ack, rst to reduce network load thus reducing the overall time.

PS.. I am intentionally running this at full boar to create lots of noise to prevent it from being used for evil.

Edit by tye to preserve structure
