Herman, Thanks again for the bug report. The bug fix you mention should apply to all builds, including OS X, but it has not been released yet. The latest version of Nmap, 6.47, still contains the bug. Since you say shorter specifications work, you could perhaps work around the bug by setting a short alias in your /etc/hosts file, like: 192.0.2.1 z Then you can do: nmap -sI z:21 Dan On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 4:54 AM, Herman Torjussen < herman.torjussen () gmail com> wrote:
I have a problem doing idle scans, when using a custom zombie probe port when the zombie host specification is a bit long. It seems smaller zombie specifcations works, like zombie.org: sudo nmap -Pn -v --top-ports 10 -sI zombie.org:21 target Starting Nmap 6.47 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-11-21 11:24 CET Initiating Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24 Completed Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24, 0.01s elapsed Initiating idle scan against target (....) at 11:24 Idle scan using zombie zombie.org (....); Class: Incremental ... but longer ones like 100-43-221-189.static-ip.foo.zombie.org don't: sudo nmap -Pn -v --top-ports 10 -sI 100-43-221-189.static-ip.foo.zombie.org:21 target Starting Nmap 6.47 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-11-21 11:24 CET Initiating Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24 Completed Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24, 0.00s elapsed Initiating idle scan against target (....) at 11:24 Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Could not resolve idle scan zombie host "100-43-221-189.static-ip.foo.zombie.org@?*": nodename nor servname provided, or not known QUITTING! This bug has been fixed for Linux [1], but maybe not for OS X? I'm using OS X 10.10.
