During nmap scans we found several times responses that say port closed and port filtered.
Example:
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
443/tcp open https
1024/tcp filtered kdm
1084/tcp filtered ansoft-lm-2
1863/tcp filtered msnp
3128/tcp open squid-http
3333/tcp filtered dec-notes
4900/tcp filtered hfcs
9943/tcp filtered unknown
30000/tcp open unknown
38292/tcp filtered landesk-cba
40911/tcp filtered unknown
52673/tcp filtered unknown
If you get a response closed it means that the scanner is receiving a TCP reset packet.
If you do not get any response it means that the port is not available and thus changing the scan time that is required to fulfill the scan as the scanner needs to do more tests to make sure that there is no service available in the scanned port.
The best way to remove this information from your scan results is to use the option –open in the nmap. If we use it we will only get the results for open ports.
