Following on from my previous email about getting --resume to "work" on
Windows (i.e. nmap no longer displays the pfatal message)...
Has anyone else been able to get --resume to do anything useful? I've
tried RC7 (with my change) on Windows and 4.21ALPHA3 on Linux; nmap
doesn't appear to write anything to the output file until it's finished
scanning everything, which makes --resume seem a little bit pointless. Is
there a "special" way I'm supposed to abort the scan? If you try --resume
against a completed output file, you see something like:
>nmap --resume testresume
Unable to parse ip (Intel) supposed log file testresume. Sorry
QUITTING!
I've even tried editing the output file to fool it into thinking it's
halfway through a scan, but all I get is:
Unable to parse supposed log file testresume_edited. Sorry
QUITTING!
Also, I've tried scanning a small range that includes my IP and I get this
lovely message on Windows:
Skipping SYN Stealth Scan against xxx.xxx.xx.xx because Windows does not
support scanning your own machine (localhost) this way.
All 0 scanned ports on xxx.xxx.xx.xx are
Are what? :) That's probably less important to worry about, but I was
wondering if that could also cause a problem with --resume (if I could get
it to work properly in the first place).
I promise to be a lot quieter tomorrow :)
