Re: Inscrutable Winpcap error

["Eddie Bell" <ejlbell () gmail com>]

The error message could be better but it seems to be because of  '-sS
--unprivileged'

-sS is a privileged scan type so cannot run in unprivileged mode. I
get the same error in vista but it is fixed by changing the scan type
to -sT or removing  '--unprivileged'
