Re: Nmap not play nice w/ Cisco VPN

It's Cisco VPN client 4.7.00.0533.  I think it's a purely client side
problem since I can ping, ssh, etc to the host and nmap eventually works
with the -e eth1 -P0 options.  So however Cisco is building the virutal
interface on my PC, it's something that nmap can't understand properly. 
It should be directly sending the probes through eth0 AFAIK.  I haven't
tried any of the other options since this problem is below them.  It
wants to determine the remote MAC address even though it's a remote
network.  That seems to be the root of the problem.

I'm not sure why you had problems over the VPN. I just tested it over
my Cisco VPN and had no problems doing a simple "nmap 10.x.x.x". I
also am using Nmap version 4.11. What kind of tunnel did you create?
And I'm assuming this is on a concentrator, so do you have a model
number for it? That shouldn't make much of a difference. If you're
able to ping it, I'm assuming you have the correct box. Is there
anything in between the end of the tunnel and the box you're trying to
scan, such as an IPS, that might block nmap activity? Lastly, what
options have you tried (ie, syn scan, paranoid, etc.)?
