Public bug reported: scanning as root user does not send out any network based requests (it will only scan your own computer...) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo nmap X.blah (x.blah is another host on my network)
Starting Nmap 4.53 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2008-07-11 15:58 EST Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -PN Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.288 seconds sudo nmap XXX.XX.XXX.XXX/24 -sV -O -p- -T 5 Starting Nmap 4.53 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2008-07-11 15:58 EST Interesting ports on YYYY(this computer) (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): Not shown: 65525 closed ports (i have removed some of the ports that are open from this report for privacy.) PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION Device type: general purpose Running: Linux 2.6.X OS details: Linux 2.6.17 - 2.6.18 Uptime: XXXX days (since XXX XXX XXX 2008) Network Distance: 0 hops Service Info: OS: Linux Wireshark logs indicate that nmap only requested my computers arp / ip on the network and did not attempt to scan anything else. There were 4 hosts on the network at this time. I was using an ipv6 tunnel via the tspc package. I do not know what impact this might have had. It should have none this is ipv4... I did also try -PN like was suggested, which did not alter the result. ** Affects: nmap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: scanning as root user does not send out any network based requests (it will only scan your own computer...)
