Good Evening, I had a kernel panic after running Nmap, the version I'm using is 6.47.
I will try to briefly explain my problem in the next few lines. Preamble: My network address is 192.168.1.0/24 My Ip Address from ifconfig is 192.168.1.105 Description of the problem:Some days ago I tried to run a network analysis with Wireshark, I applied an "http" filter and I noticed there were some packets coming as "source" from the local ip address 192.168.1.114.
Now the first thing I tried in order to understand which hosts were alive on my network was:
"nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24" but this gave me a list of hosts in which there was no 192.168.1.114.After i found out that executing the same command with "sudo" (with root provileges) the lists reveals the 192.168.1.114, particularly it tells me:
"Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.114 Host is up (0.099s latency). MAC Address: 14:2D:27:DC:4A:8F (Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co.)" but when i ran: "sudo nmap -O -sV 192.168.1.114" my computer freezed and i got a kernel panic.Which can be the cause of such problem ? What is causing this kernel panic which forces me to manually reset the machine ?
I apologize for my english, and hope for your reply. Thanks in advance for your help, Greetings, nebbia _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
