From 46f8875b6e9b2cc0ecfcb9b245f21b662137a6aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: david Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:51:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add to CHANGELOG: o A problem that caused OS detection to fail for most hosts in a certain was fixed. It happened when sending raw Ethernet frames (by default on Windows or on other platforms with --send-eth) to hosts on a switched LAN. The destination MAC address was wrong for most targets. The symptom was that only one out of each scan group of 20 or 30 hosts would have a meaningful OS fingerprint. Thanks go to Michael Head for running tests and especially Trent Snyder for testing and finding the cause of the problem.
