I don't have VMWare for OSX installed but it looks like BPF/libpcap doesn't like the vmnet8 interface. Probably not 'root' related. Try doing this: $ sudo nmap -sS -p 22,80 --packet-trace scanme.insecure.org If that works then we need to figure out why nmap is going out vmnet8 for localhost.

Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: nmap-dev-bounces () insecure org [mailto:nmap-dev- bounces () insecure org] On Behalf Of Garrett Reid Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 9:19 PM To: nmap-dev () insecure org Cc: Garrett Reid Subject: nmap/vmware osx bug I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this, so apologies in advance if it isn't. For some reason, after installing VMWare Fusion Beta3 (the current beta for mac users), nmap will not run as root:garrett$ sudo nmap localhost Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-04-29 19:06 MDT getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (vmnet8). A possible cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF devices (see http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2006/Jan-Mar/ 0014.html). QUITTING!However, if run as a non-root user, it works fine:garrett$ nmap localhost Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-04-29 19:16 MDT Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1)I'm not sure if this is nmap using the wrong interface, or vmware breaking raw sockets or just what is going on, so I've posted this bug to both parties. However, since this is a mailing-list, I'll hopefully be getting some feedback from here =) -Garrett _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org_______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org_______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
