Re: Want to work on updating libpcap included in nmap

[Jay Bosamiya <jaybosamiya () gmail com>]

In regards to my previous mail (about working on libpcap), the given
patches do NOT work directly. However, I can rewrite them to give same
functionality and make them work. Should I do the same? Also, how exactly
do I push the changes?

Regards
Jay
