[Semibug] Does a firewall block nmap?

[Jonathan Drews]

Hi Folks:

 Does a firewall block nmap? 

I have two machines on my local (192.168.1.0/24) network. If I do 
$ nmap -v 192.168.1.5

I get:
Starting Nmap 7.91 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-09-25 12:43 MDT
Initiating Ping Scan at 12:43
Scanning 192.168.1.5 [2 ports]
Completed Ping Scan at 12:43, 3.04s elapsed (1 total hosts)
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.5 [host down]
Read data files from: /usr/local/share/nmap
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping
probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.15 seconds

192.168.1.5 is an Ubuntu laptop guarded by UFW (Uncomplicated
Firewall). The nmap sacn says the host is down. However if I do:

$ ping 192.168.1.5
PING 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5): 56 data bytes

My UFW rules are:
$ sudo ufw status verbose
Status: active

Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip

How come ping detects the host and nmap does not detect it?
