Re: dnet: Failed to open device vmnet8

  Thanks everyone for the responses. Using Fusion5 and nmap6.25 but from
the responses appears to just be a limitation of scanning virtual
interfaces w/OSX.

@Chris - You can nmap the vnmnet interfaces from your host to your guest.
Even though this is not a real interface.

I did a quick test on Fusion 4.1.4 with and nmap 5:

nmap specific ports and works fine
nmap -O -F -Pn and it gives me "Warning: Unable to open interface vmnet8 --
skipping it." but completes scan but does not return the OS

Yep it is a known problem, only full tcp scans work anything else fails
when it host to VM

Vmnet interfaces aren't real devices so you can't use nmap on them.

I tried searching the net and nmap's forums, but I'm running nmap under OSX
and using Fusion and receive trying to scan:

new-host:~ oia$ sudo nmap -O -F 192.168.210.153/24

Starting Nmap 6.25 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-02-28 00:22 EST
dnet: Failed to open device vmnet8
QUITTING!
new-host:~ oia$

 Anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Mike
