Mike,

I started some BGP work for nmap some time ago but never got around
completing it, but there should not be a limit in terms of platform it runs
on. I'll check if I can dig up the code. I did create some bgp tools in
Java back in 2006 [1], don't even know if they work anymore.

does nmap currently have any scripts or testing for BGP related services
(port 179T)? i was curious because there is a devastatingly powerful router
injection tool called LOKI , mainly for nix, that can support the protocol
(but not windows). apparently, and this is why i am asking in regards with
nmap, windows does not have support in the kernel for BGP? that is what the
LOKI website says. what exactly does that mean? would that mean that nmap
can not craft a bgp packet with a script? nping could not work either? i
could have swore years ago, i ran nemesis on windows and it indeed had a
template packet for BGP. so i'm just confused as to how a kernel does not
support a protocol and does this completely limit this option as far as
nmap is related?
i would love to one day see BGP support (maybe a script to test for BGP-4
authentication or peer info/etc). almost all of your ISP border routers run
it (and EIGRP) so it is definitely something worthy of looking at
