I just tried my VM of Windows 2008 x64 using the WinPcap files that are part of Nmap and I got the familiar dnet error that suggests WinPcap hasn't been properly installed (the Admin account in 2008 doesn't suffer from UAC, thanks to a lovely group policy setting, so it's definitely not the privilege problem that causes the same generic error message). I force installed the official WinPcap 4.0.2 over the top and the scan appears to work now (didn't even have to close Zenmap hehe). This does suggest to me that something isn't right with Nmap's WinPcap installer. I think that it's the same Vista packet.dll and npf.sys files, I'm not entirely sure offhand why the Nmap installer doesn't work. Perhaps Gianluca can beat me to the reason why.
On a x64 machine you need to install the 64bit version of npf.sys. And the installation can be a lil tricky from a 32bit installer, as normally \windows\system32\drivers is not accessible from a 32bit application. Have a nice day GV
Is there any reason why we can't include the official WinPcap installer instead of constantly tweaking Nmap's own version? http://www.winpcap.org/misc/copyright.htm Rob -----Original Message----- From: Rob Nicholls [mailto:robert () everythingeverything co uk] Sent: 22 March 2008 12:07 To: 'Fyodor'; 'Kris Katterjohn' Cc: nmap-dev () insecure org Subject: RE: Nmap on x64 Vista? I'm afraid I've gone away for the Easter weekend, otherwise I would have posted something definitive by now. I do have with me a VMWare copy of Windows 2008 x64 using bridged networking that should work the same way as Vista SP1 x64 (once I plug the laptop into a switch, as it doesn't get an IP address over DHCP using wireless), and I grabbed the Vista + SP1 x64 image from Microsoft last night so I should be able to try that later today. Otherwise it'll have to wait until I'm back home on Monday (at which point I can check with Vista RTM x64 too). The usual problem with Vista x64 is a lack of signed drivers, but the WinPcap driver is signed, so as long as the Nmap version is identical to the WinPcap version's install, I can't see Nmap on Vista x64 being a problem.

I asked him if he could try to install Nmap 4.60 on it and see how it runs. He says it installed fine (with the included WinPcap), and Zenmap comes up great. However, he didn't actually scan because he got too bored trying to fix the seemingly common libdnet error pertaining to Ethernet devices (I linked to a couple nmap-dev postings, but he said it didn't help--I didn't push too hard when he professed his lack of further interest).Thanks Kris. So, in other words, it didn't work for him :(. Do you still have the exact error message he received? Did you two try any of the possible solutions, and if so which ones didn't work? Anyone else have Vista x64 they can try?
