This is Ubuntu 12.04 env. I have a TCP service running on port 8020 on the box:
My question is:
Why port 8020 is not discovered in nmap as an open port while nestat says it's listening?
if i run
netstat -tuplen
Active Internet connections (only servers)

But if i run
nmap -v -sT 127.0.0.1

By default nmap doesn't scan all ports. try this one.
