RE: Deny/Reject patch

Why not mapping the type and codes and just writing down the exact error
message?

Here are the exact type/code pairs:

Type 3 Destination Unreachable

Code List:
0 Net Unreachable
1 Host Unreachable
2 Protocol Unreachable
3 Port Unreachable
4 Fragmentation Needed and Don't Fragment was Set
5 Source Route Failed
6 Destination Network Unknown
7 Destination Host Unknown
8 Source Host Isolated 4
9 Communication with Destination Network is Administratively Prohibited
5
10 Communication with Destination Host is Administratively Prohibited 6
11 Destination Network Unreachable for Type of Service.
12 Destination Host Unreachable for Type of Service.
13 Communication Administratively Prohibited.
14 Host Precedence Violation
15 Precedence cutoff in effect

Hope this helps.

Hi,

As seen in pen-test mailing list severals weeks ago some people find it
usefull to know the kind of icmp unreachable we eventually got in
response.

Fyodor said it was easy to add this feature to nmap so there it is. (it
may be ugly as i didn't nmap sources very well ...).

# ./nmap -sS pouet -p 3

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA29 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on pouet (1.2.3.4):
Port State Service
3/tcp unr. (code 1) compressnet

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1 second

It doesn't work for none root port scans types as the "only" way to know
we got an icmp is to view it with a pcap. In fact, i made it "works"
with
linux and connect scan, quoting an old fyodor's paper:

"While non-root users can't read port unreachable errors directly, Linux

is cool enough to inform the user indirectly when they have been
received."

I became totally mad with my BSD before reading this two lines ...

By the way, I have a question : why the lamer udp scan is gone ?

To conclude this mail, i want to start a talk about the utility to
fingerprints system with these icmp unreachable (if we got them, let's
use them, it can't kill us), i worked a little on this topic and i still
think it can "easily" be done.
