I compiled the base nmap-3.00 release on my AIX 4.3.3 box. When I run it as my non-root user (Example 1) it works fine. When I run it as root user (Example 2) it fails. Let me know if anyone knows why. Thanks, Terry Greenlee http://www.aixadm.org/ Example 1: ------------------------------------------------ 1829ter@rs43p:/home/1829ter $ nmap aixadm.org Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on (206.135.171.51): (The 1598 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 11 seconds ------------------------------------------------- Example 2: ------------------------------------------------- root@rs43p:/root # nmap aixadm.org Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) pcap_open_live: /dev/en0: No such file or directory There are several possible reasons for this, depending on your operating system: LINUX: If you are getting Socket type not supported, try modprobe af_packet or recompile your kernel with SOCK_PACKET enabled. *BSD: If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile your kernel with Berkeley Packet Filter support. If you are getting No such file or directory, try creating the device (eg cd /dev; MAKEDEV <device>; or use mknod). SOLARIS: If you are trying to scan localhost and getting '/dev/lo0: No such file or directory', complain to Sun. I don't think Solaris can support advanced localhost scans. You can probably use "-P0 -sT localhost" though.
