Hello, I tested under Linux and Windows and discovered something strange in nmap 5.35-DC1 using a file containing a list of IP address. Example of file : ipliste.txt 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.5 Command line : nmap -iL ipliste.txt Error message : Invalid character in host specification. Note in particular that square brackets [] are no longer allowed. They were redundant and can simply be removed. QUITTING! Workaround : Under Linux, the ipliste.txt file is UTF-8 encoded with BOM (Byte Order Mark). If I remove BOM, I don't have anymore the message. I used Geany editor to remove BOM. Under Windows, if I use an UTF-8 or UCS-2 LE file, I have the same message. If I converted the file in ANSI, I don't have anymore the problem. Any idea ? Is it a bug ? Is it possible to known the limitations regarding address, hostnames files. Thanks for your help, SecSys33{at}gmai{dot}com _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
