Re: [NSE] Dropbox LanSync host collection

[Andrew Orr <andrew () andreworr ca>]

Usage/output patch attached as requested. Note this is against the 
current script in svn.

On a side note - while we were working on this script (and just now when 
I was testing it again) we ran into the problem of trying to bind to a 
port already in use - ie if you're running the dropbox client on the 
system you're scanning from. You can see this in the debug output (-d3) 
but IIRC we couldn't figure out a way to catch this from NSE and display 
a decent error message.

Debug output is: NSOCK (0.0820s) Bind to 0.0.0.0 failed (IOD #1)

In this case, the nmap.new_socket("udp").bind() call is returning a true 
status in this case when it seemingly should be false. Anyone encounter 
this before?

On another side note, at our next hackathon (Saturday) we're baking 
cupcakes for [1]. If only nmap scripts were as tasty as cupcakes :P.

Cheers,
-Andrew
