I personally think it'd probably be a bad idea to put Libnet into nmap, which is why I didn't pursue this patch. Also, I found out that it's quite difficult to make raw link level packets in a portable fashion. Let me know what you think,
Why are you against putting libnet into Nmap? I've been very happy every time I've used the libnet API to do packet construction. The difficulty in building raw packets is exactly the reason why Nmap *should* use an external library for packet construction. Libnet doesn't yet have the extensive list of ported platforms, but it does seem to be the right tool for the job. -- William --------------------------------------------------------------------- For help using this (nmap-dev) mailing list, send a blank email to nmap-dev-help () insecure org .
