Nmap 4.21alpha4 Issue?

When I try and scan a subnet 1.2.3.* that I am on I have found Nmap seems to quit early. I don't remember it doing that in the past (several versions ago) I am assuming this is not a problem with WinPcap? If Nmap can's can it's own host on Windows could there be an automated exclusion so the program just excludes the IP address? Here is what happens after scanning many hosts.... Initiating ARP Ping Scan at 10:51 Scanning 165 hosts [1 port/host] Completed ARP Ping Scan at 10:51, 0.67s elapsed (165 total hosts) Initiating Parallel DNS resolution of 165 hosts. at 10:51 Completed Parallel DNS resolution of 165 hosts. at 10:51, 9.01s elapsed Skipping SYN Stealth Scan against 10.1.20.90 because Windows does not support sc anning your own machine (localhost) this way. Initiating Service scan at 10:51 Skipping OS Scan against 10.1.20.90 because it doesn't work against your own mac hine (localhost) pcap_open_live(lo0, 100, 0, 2) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: Th e system cannot find the device specified. (20). Will wait 5 seconds then retry . pcap_open_live(lo0, 100, 0, 2) FAILED. Reported error: Error opening adapter: Th e system cannot find the device specified. (20). Will wait 25 seconds then retr y. Call to pcap_open_live(lo0, 100, 0, 2) failed three times. Reported error: Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the device specified. (20) 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 r ecompile your kernel with SOCK_PACKET enabled. *BSD: If you are getting device not configured, you need to recompile your kern el with Berkeley Packet Filter support. If you are getting No such file or dire ctory, try creating the device (eg cd /dev; MAKEDEV <device>; or use mknod). *WINDOWS: Nmap only supports ethernet interfaces on Windows for most operations because Microsoft disabled raw sockets as of Windows XP SP2. Depending on the reason for this error, it is possible that the --unprivileged command-line argum ent will help. SOLARIS: If you are trying to scan localhost and getting '/dev/lo0: No such fil e or directory', complain to Sun. I don't think Solaris can support advanced lo calhost scans. You can probably use "-P0 -sT localhost" though. QUITTING! _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
