[olivier courtay <olivier.courtay () intranode com>]

Hello,

Lots of people want Ring patch for Nmap.
Please find enclosed the first release of Nmap patch.

In order to apply the patch, follow the instructions below:

        Install Libnet(1.0.2a) (www.packetfactory.net/Projects/Libnet)
        Install Libdnet(1.2) (libdnet.sourceforge.net)
        Get nmap-2.54BETA32.tgz source tarball(www.insecure.org)
        untar the source: tar zxvf nmap-2.54BETA32.tgz
        Go to the source directory nmap-2.54BETA32
        uncompress patch gunzip nmap-Ring.patch.gz in this directory.
        applied the Ring patch:
 
        patch -p 1 < nmap-Ring.patch
 
        if you have a Linux 2.4 kernel, edit the filter.h and follow
instructions.
 
        For installation, follow Nmap INSTALL file instructions
(./configure && make ).
 
        Use the --ring option when you call Nmap
        (example: nmap --ring -O 192.168.1.1)
