bit.dll is required by only two of the nse scripts:
dns-test-open-recursion.nse
zoneTrans.nse
so i decided to do the following scan to make sure the script actually
runs and that bit is called:
nmap -P0 -sS -p53 --script=zoneTrans.nse --script-trace -vv -d2 <target>
and it definitely runs. So definitely no issue that I can reproduce.
Lawrence, are you running 32bit XP and what is your service pack level?
And how do you fancy running Process Monitor
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processmonitor.mspx>
to capture nmaps hunt for bit.dll?
As a comparison with Robs ProcMon output (showing the hunt and then the
finding of bit.dll):
IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\Program Files\Nmap\nselib\bit.lua NAME NOT FOUND
IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\Program Files\Nmap\nselib\bit.lua NAME NOT FOUND
IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\Documents and Settings\jah\bit.lua NAME NOT FOUND
