I think we may need to change the behaviour so it's consistent in all cases. What about: - User is unprivileged and did not supply mode: --> Use TCP-Connect - User is unprivileged and supplied --tcp --> Use TCP-Connect - User is unprivileged and supplied --upd --> User UDP unprivileged - User is root and did not supply mode --> Use ICMP Echo - User is root and supplied --tcp --> Use raw sockets TCP - User is root and supplied --udp --> User raw sockets UDP - User is root and wants to use TCP-Connect --> User needs to either pass --tcp-connect or --unprivileged
This sounds good to me, and is strikingly similar to Nmap's host discovery defaults (yay consistency!)
- User is root and want unprivileged UDP --> User needs to pass --unprivileged or --udp-XXXXX (any suggestions?. --udp-sendto() may not be the best idea because when we use raw sockets we also use sendto() to transmit the data).
I think either way is reasonable: either adding a special option now, or letting people use --unprivileged for now and adding the special --udp-whatever option if we see demand from users for it.
