i'm trying using Nmap for windows ver1.3.1 with winpcap 2.3.
but looks like nmap can't to scan any address. eg:
nmap -sS -P0 -O -T 3 yahoo.com. if -PT -PI used then :is there any wrong with the oprtion that is used. i had used it before on linux and it works with the option. im using winxp sp1Quote:
Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap )
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0
this may sound really dumb, but add a www in front of yahoo.com. Sometimes nmap doesn't like recieving just part of the address... I remember having that same problem. If not that, try using the front end: nmapfe
nop. still the same although adding WWW
for shits and grins... get a hold of the GUI version of it, it's avaliable for download on their webpage... see if that clears it up
it stated clearly that:)Quote:

well they have a command line one for windows, run through DOS... and you posted it with that type of command... i'm lookin for a solution for ya as we speak
If you install the GUI versionof Nmap you can also run nmap from the command prompt.
I installed Nmap (GUI) for windows and am having the same problems.
I've tried using the GUI, and the command prompt. I can't scan anything including my own network.
NMAP for windows is a buggy POS. I would suggest installing cygwin (basically a virtual linux installation on a windows box) and then use the *nix version of NMAP.
If you still want to use NMAP for windows, the first thing I'd do is get a newer (3.x) version of WinPCap. It would be better for sniffers and other network tools too.
i have both version. GUI and text mode.
i had tried the winpcap 3.0 and 2.3, still doesn't works.
the best way is rm -fr NmapWin. :) ...... linux ver. can easily scan for localhost while nmapwin "doesn't work on local loopback
NmapWin 1.3.1 WinPcap 3.0
nmap -sT -PT -PI -p 80 -O -T 3 www.yahoo.com
Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap )
Warning: OS detection will be MUCH less reliable because we did not find at least 1 open and 1 closed TCP port
Interesting ports on p1.www.dcn.yahoo.com (216.109.118.64):
Port State Service
80/tcp open http
Too many fingerprints match this host for me to give an accurate OS guess

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 22 seconds
I used connect mode and I gave it a port to scan.
nmap -sT -PT -PI -p 80 -O -T 3 www.yahoo.com

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 54 seconds :confused:
Doesn't XP have some firewall thingy? Could it be "blocking" responses??
I will agree with thehorse13 however in that nmapwin is a POS. It crashes and fails more often than not (based on my experiences with it). Best windows scanner I ever saw was Retina by eEye.
Yeah it does but it is not on by default. I ran this test on XP pro with SP1 with FW off and it worked fine. How about hitting a different host? Try pinging it via command line first then try crappy Nmapwin.
I don't use nmap for windows because everywhere you read it states quite clearly that is sucks. I use it on Linux. My question is why would you even be trying to port scan yahoo? Only good I see about nmap is to scan your own network for open ports. You scan other networks and you start getting into grey areas.
My guess is he is trying a site that he knows is up. Typically, I ping M$ or Yahoo to test network connectivity or to check on DNS issues. Perhaps he can confirm it or prove me a fool :).
You can tell Fyodor or whoever created Nmapwin wasnt to confident in they're description on the insecure site. Wonder if the next release will be soon and much better. If trinity uses it...i'm all for it though.
hi,
I had the same problem, I went back to the insecure site and downlaoded the latest windows command line version http://download.insecure.org/nmap/di...3.30-win32.zip
and placed that into the bin folder inside the name win directory, this update fixes a few versions including the speed problem.
Hope this helps

also, winpcap does not work over PPP interfaces, or not that I have been able to do :(
Anyone else been able to get it to work over PPP connections?
I have tried Nmap Win version many time over PPP connections and I have never been able to confirm if it was bugging or incredibly slow (even for very simple and normally quick tasks).
Simply delete this version and try its Linux version. I heard that some admins install Linux only for Nmap.
i had vmware running with linux for a while when i was using dial up, but now i am using DSL i setup a server with the modem installed running a windows OS but it will not work :(
Back to vmware i guess as I want to keep the current windows setup
thanks

Yup. I find eEye's Retina scanner unrivaled in OS detection, remote audits, port scans, etc. You can download a 15-day trial at their website.Quote:
If retina is too expensive, try LANguard. Almost as good, without the hefty price tag.
ah retina! thats one i didn't get around too, i've tried languard, good as it is I still prefer the nice scanning options that nmap gives us.
Time for retina
Stu
typical, can't get onto eeye.com :(
yes... u are right. actually i'm just want to try the program with winxp. i have a linux system but i'm using "winmodem" (saving budget....). and the nmapwin cant used on local loopback. maybe i should starting a new thread.... How to connect to internet using winmodem.Quote:

you're trying to get your winmodem working in linux yeah?
A few motherboards i have bought that came with winmodems did have the driver for linux on the cd. I dont like those modems tho as a slight amount of processor usage used to cut me off!

Good luck. I've heard nothing pleasant about people trying to get these to work together. Rather than start a new thread check out www.linmodems.org (when they are up -- they may be down due to the power outage still).. :)
It's much easier these days than it used to be.Quote:

Get the ltmodem package from linmodems & follow the instructions - peice of cake, but you'll need to do it each time you upgrade the kernel
