I ran the same nmap commands subsequently, and got two sets of results.

I know that there are three open ports, but on each run, only two are shown.

Can anyone explain these results?

    How do you know that three ports are open? Do you control `some-server`? – MadHatter Jul 11 '15 at 19:25
  • what is the output of `netstat -lntu` on the server? Do you have firewall or some iptables rules? What does the nmap list when you call it on that server with localhost argument? – Jakuje Jul 11 '15 at 21:00
  • @MadHatter, it's an ec2 server that we use in the company; however I do not control it. The guy who has control over it is on vacations... – Ramses Jul 12 '15 at 17:36
