PseudoRandomDragon Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2004/Apr-Jun/0077.html http://www.grc.com/dos/intro.htm (about RAW sockets) The RAW socket functionality that has been in WinXP has been removed in the release of SP2. This will make software such as Nmap not work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PseudoRandomDragon Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Well, we came pretty close when a good number of the DNS servers were knocked down. :ninja: But if Raw sockets poses no risk..why did MS remove them in SP2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qumahlin Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 They aren't fully removed, and the makers of Npam already created a workaround :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
