Nmap Development: Re: Ron/fuzz-garbage script

[Ron <ron () skullsecurity net>]

Hi Mike,

It shouldn't freeze Nmap, but it could be an issue with how the Windows
version of Nmap handles sockets. All it's doing it looping and sending
data. My solution would be to not run Nmap on Windows, but that's just me ;)

As for different chunksizes, the functionality already exists. There are
two script-args, one for the total amount of data to send (default:
unlimited), and one for the size of the chunks (default: 1024).
