it seems it was chosen in the past to always add -sP (alias for -sn) to the nmap command which is described as the following in the nmap manual: > The default host discovery done with -sn consists of an ICMP echo request, TCP SYN to port 443, TCP ACK to port 80, and an ICMP timestamp request by default. You can either have a look at the ping_host.nasl or set the "Log nmap output" Option of the "Ping Host" (Port scanners family) to "yes" to see the used nmap commands for this Alive test.
