GSoC community ideas/Improved port specification

The --top-ports parameter is incredibly valuable but hardly adaptive. It would be nice to extend the port specification syntax to easily add/remove ports from the top-ports lists.

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q3/380 thread about making -p and --top-ports take a union.

• I rescind my objection to changing the current behavior to preserve a workaround for --exclude-ports, since --exclude-ports was added in GSoC 2014. Bonsaiviking (talk) 20:20, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
