Raw Socket Support was removed with a hotfix post-sp1 or SP2.  Only 10
outgoing connections are allowed.  Superscan will not work with a syn
scan using SP2.

Subject: superscan on win2k vs winxp


hello friends!!

I am using superscan to scan hosts for possible open ports.But
surprsingly ,if i scan it from windows 2000 and windows xp with sp2 the
results differ.

When i scan from xp it gives no open ports and when i scan from windows
2000,it gives certain ports open.

Does anyone have any idea regarding this?

If tcp/ip stack is implemented differently on both the  opertaing
systems then can anyone tell me how i can get tcp/ip stack info on my xp
and 2k machine?

I think superscan is multithreaded ,can anyone suggest me other
multithreaded scanners?

Regards,
Pavan Shah.
