Is there a name given to this specific type of nmap scan:

sudo nmap -sS -T 5 192.168.1.145

Is there a specific term/name?

Manual to the rescue:

-sS (TCP SYN scan) .
    SYN scan is the default and most popular scan option for good reasons. [...]
    This technique is often referred to as half-open scanning [...]

-T is not relevant because it doesn't change how the scan works, but just adjusts the timing:

-T paranoid|sneaky|polite|normal|aggressive|insane (Set a timing template) .

  • Sorry I should have been more clear - is it a specific "type" like we have a Xmas scan available

  • @pee2pee The manual calls it "SYN scan". "Xmas scan" is mentioned 2 lines down. "-sS/sT/sA/sW/sM: TCP SYN/Connect()/ACK/Window/Maimon scans || -sU: UDP Scan || -sN/sF/sX: TCP Null, FIN, and Xmas scans"
