There is still an issue with the vmware interfaces and bpf. By shutting down vmware fusion you can get nmap to run. I've not had any time to dive further into why. On 8/20/07, DePriest, Jason R. <jrdepriest () gmail com> wrote:

Interesting part is that if i run nmap as user it will actually scan (orsoit appears)... that's a -vv output, so unless there is (and i know that there is) somesortof a debugging mode i can use to troubleshoot it further for you guys, i would gladly do so. -- This work as well as my thinking is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 License.See the announcements for SOC3 (http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q3/0171.html) and SOC5 (http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q3/0190.html). Maybe you could try compiling one of those instead? To my knowledge, SOC5 was just to fix some Umit in Windows issues and I never saw a SOC4. -Jason -- NOTICE: This email is being sent in clear-text across the public Internet.
