Re: extra hosts in DNS query

That makes sense on the DNS now you explain it. I'll see what I can do
on the seg fault. Seeing as I'm not going to get many chances to run
it, what extra flags or logging would you like enabled when I do it?

Robin,

Very curious about the segfault, but the reverse DNS number difference is
probably due to your use of traceroute: 61 hosts plus 2 intermediate hops to
be resolved. If you can repeat the segfault, narrowing it to a particular
script or network condition would be critical.

Thanks,
Dan

I've just been running a scan and noticed two problems, the first is
the obvious seg fault, which was a bit annoying, but the second is the
mis-match in host numbers when the DNS resolution was done.

Stats: 0:17:45 elapsed; 0 hosts completed (61 up), 61 undergoing
Traceroute
Parallel DNS resolution of 63 hosts. Timing: About 98.41% done; ETC:
22:52 (0:00:00 remaining)
Stats: 0:17:55 elapsed; 0 hosts completed (61 up), 61 undergoing Script
Scan
NSE Timing: About 87.86% done; ETC: 22:53 (0:00:01 remaining)
Segmentation fault

This was the command I ran:

nmap -T4 -oA xxx_scripts -iL ips -PN -A -sC

The ips file has 61 entries in it and all through the scan it was
looking at 61 hosts right up till it did the DNS resolution where it
jumped to 63.

Running version Nmap 7.01 installed on a fresh Kali box. The box
doesn't have internet connectivity so I can't easily update it and
I've only got a limited test window so may not be able to reproduce or
debug the problem but thought I'd report it in case someone wanted to
look at it.
