Nmap Development: Re: Nmap and XML Output Questions

[Alan Jones <asj () ipa net>]

Fyodor,  

The adapter naming was just a small thing and maybe a symptom of a bigger probelm.


 The WinPcap people had said something to the effect of 
  "A clean solution to the problem is to use pcap_findalldevs(), which is available on 
   both WinPcap and libpcap from quite a lot of time."

Specifcly you may want to look at 

http://www.mail-archive.com/winpcap-users () winpcap polito it/msg01700.html

and this

It may help you greatly improve Nmap's windows compatability and cross platform code.


Any guesses when we will see a new versnion of Nmap anyway?

I made the change relating to adaptor naming.  It is in the latest
nmap-dev test releases and will be in the next official release.
