This is a netfilter mailing list, not nmap.
However, from the nmap man page:
Another test enabled by -O is TCP Sequence Pre=AD
dictability Classification. This is a measure that
describes approximately how hard it is to establish
a forged TCP connection against the remote host.
This is useful for exploiting source-IP based trust
relationships (rlogin, firewall filters, etc) or
for hiding the source of an attack. The actual
difficulty number is based on statistical sampling
and may fluctuate. It is generally better to use
the English classification such as "worthy chal=AD
lenge" or "trivial joke". This is only reported in
normal output with -v.
