A good alternative if you're running NT at least is to try VMWare (http://www.vmware.com), it will allow you to create a Linux system running within WinNT (and vice-versa.) NMAP runs just fine under Linux running under VMWare on Windows... Routing may well be a problem though depending on how many addressable IP's you have, remember you will need two addressable IP's for Linux(via VMWare) and NT running simultaneously. regards Greg Jones -----Original Message----- From: Jim Maze [mailto:jim () slinux com] Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 1999 1:10 AM To: Fyodor Cc: nmap-hackers () insecure org Subject: Re: Several Notes
7) A lot of Windows users tell me that they wish to use Nmap, but they don't want to give up Windows & WinNT because that is what all their video games run on. First of all, Linux now supports Quake, Doom, Civilization: Call To Power, and many other top quality games. Further, you can set up your system dual-boot, allowing you to boot into Windows when you are tired of productive work. But if you still insist on running Nmap from Windows, there are a number of Web gateways that will do the scanning for you (some cost money though). See http://www.insecure.org/nmap/index.html#projects for several examples.
Another alternative would be to use Trinux - which runs entirely in RAM. Check it out at http://www.trinux.org
