Jean-Guilhem, Thanks for this report and patch. I applied it and credited you in r36172. Since we still don't know what's causing localtime to fail, I added an error output to diagnose it. Please let us know if you get this error message (beginning with "Timing error:") and what it says. Dan On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 3:42 AM, <jean-guilhem.nousse () orange com> wrote:
Hi, During some scans, nmap stops due the function “assert” in the file timing.cc. This bug is quite random, but occurs generally at the beginning of a step (for example when the syn scan starts or the version scan). It also affects my colleague. For me, this issue should only affect the display of statistic and not the whole scan. I didn’t understand why the function “localtime” is returning a NULL value, but as workaround, I rewrite in the patch the test in order to modify the output when this error occurs rather than ending the scan. What do you think of this solution ?
