If you recall the well-known: 'Scanning an IP that is an interface address on a Solaris (8) box doesn't work except with -sT scanning.' issue, well it looks like the symptom has changed: [ Solaris-8-box ]# nmap -sS -p 1 1.2.3.4 Starting Nmap 4.85BETA4 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-03-29 11:12 BST pcap_open_live(lo0, 100, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: lo0: No DLPI device found. Will wait 5 seconds then retry. pcap_open_live(lo0, 100, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: lo0: No DLPI device found. Will wait 25 seconds then retry. Call to pcap_open_live(lo0, 100, 0, 200) failed three times. Reported error: lo0: No DLPI device found 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). *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 argument will help. 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 "-PN -sT localhost" though. Or maybe this is another bug? Either way, I guess the diagnostic could do with updating (or broadening by removing 'and getting...direcotory'" ? -- Dom mailto:Dom () DeVitto com http://devitto.com _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
