The comment in struct_ip.h explains the reasoning for this. The AIX C library
uses #defines that change the names of members of struct ip, and conflict with
some existing code. (Notably struct ip_hdr in libdnet and IPv4Header::h in
libnetutil.) We can still use the AIX files if we include <netinet/ip.h> after
this other code has been preprocessed. That's hard to enforce when
<netinet/ip.h> is included from another header file; this new file allows
including it always late, and only where needed.
Heretofore we have always extracted teh destination address directly
from the packet contents. But the raw packet bytes do not contain enough
information in one case: IPv6 link-local addresses. For those we really
need the scope ID, and for that we must pass this information all the
way down.
Before this, I got "no route to host" on OS link-local addresses. I
think that it was working on Linux only on accident, by the OS picking a
default interface or something.
We should have the multiprotocol version be the main version, with
IPv4-only code being a noted exception. Also these functions are almost
the same so one can call the other.
resolve except that it returns all resolved addresses. Use this new
function to resolve IPv4 addresses instead of gethostbyname in
TargetGroup.cc. The gethostbyname code assumed that only IPv4 addresses
would be returned. If the resolver returned IPv6 addresses, TargetGroup
would blindly copy the first four bytes of the IPv6 address into the
IPv4 struct. This was first reported by Mats Erik Andersson at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=584301; he also
suggested the fix.
entries:
o [NSE] Raw packet sending at the IP layer is now supported, in addition to
the Ethernet sending functionality. Packets to send start with an IPv4
header and can be sent to arbitrary hosts. [Kris]
o [NSE] Added the ipidseq script to classify a host's IP ID sequence numbers
in the same way Nmap does. This can be used to test hosts' suitability for
Nmap's Idle Scan (-sI), i.e. check if a host is an idle zombie. This is
the first script to use the new raw IP sending functionality in NSE. [Kris]
o [NSE] Added the function nmap.is_privileged() to tell a script if, as far
as Nmap's concerned, it can do privileged operations. For instance, this
can be used to see if a script should be able to open a raw socket or
Ethernet interface. [Kris]
o [NSE] Added the function nmap.get_ports() to allow a script to iterate
over a host's port tables matching a certain protocol and state. [Kris,
Patrick]
a layer 4 protocol used mostly for telephony related applications.
This brings the following new features:
o SCTP INIT chunk port scan (-sY): open ports return an INIT-ACK
chunk, closed ones an ABORT chunk. This is the SCTP equivalent
of a TCP SYN stealth scan.
o SCTP COOKIE-ECHO chunk port scan (-sZ): open ports are silent,
closed ports return an ABORT chunk.
o SCTP INIT chunk ping probes (-PY): host discovery using SCTP
INIT chunk packets.
o SCTP-specific IP protocol scan (-sO -p sctp).
o SCTP-specific traceroute support (--traceroute).
o The ability to use the deprecated Adler32 algorithm as specified
in RFC 2960 instead of CRC32C from RFC 4960 (--adler32).
o 42 well-known SCTP ports were added to the nmap-services file.
Part of the work on SCTP support was kindly sponsored by
Compass Security AG, Switzerland. [Daniel Roethlisberger]
packet is OK from the get-go rather than running basic checks of it's own.
In a nutshell this patch checks to make sure:
1) there is enough room for an IP header in the amount of bytes read
2) the IP version number is correct
3) the IP length fields are at least as big as the standard header
4) the IP packet received isn't a fragment, or is the initial fragment
5) that next level headers seem reasonable
For TCP, this checks that there is enough room for the header in the number
of bytes read, and that any option lengths are correct. The options checked
are MSS, WScale, SackOK, Sack, and Timestamp.
This also fixes a bug I discovered while testing. Since the Ethernet CRC
(and other datalink-layer data) could be read and counted, it was being
returned that there was more IP packet than there really was. This didn't
cause an overrun of the buffer or anything, just that garbage data could have
easily been read instead of real packet data. Now, if validity is checked for
and the number of total bytes read is larger than the IP's length, the length
is set to the IP header's total length field.
This seems to work great after doing what testing I could. It's been out on
nmap-dev for a couple of weeks without any bad reports (none at all for that
matter). I reviewed this patch again before committing and it looks good as
well.
Remove special-purpose log functions for graphing congestion control and other t
hings. There's enough information provided by -d3.
Update the congestion control graph program and add a program for graphing probe
s and drops.
Increase the initial ccthresh from 50 to 75.
Change how much the congestion threshold drops on packet drops.
Print group timing stats with -d2 and individual host timing stats with -d3.
Bump up the cc-graph.sh y axis limit to 80.
Put graphs in the same directory as their log file.
Go ahead and adjust timing for ICMP destination unreachables. I'm going to commi
t and experimental change to the congestion control that doesn't rely on this an
y more.
Scale group congestion control increments by the inverse of the packet
receipt ratio. This gives great performance without ignoring ICMP
destintation unreachable drops. This may be the breakthrough we've been
looking for.
I'll probably send a message about this later today. For information and
graphs right now, see
http://www.bamsoftware.com/wiki/Nmap/ResponseRateScaledCongestionControl.
Sorry it's only in my nmap-massping-migration branch for now, but please
give it a try.
Only -d2 is now needed for cc-graph.sh.
Put a cap of 50 on the cwnd scaling factor.
Fix up the order of things in the packet_ratio debugging output.
Move the packet_ratio debugging output to printAnyStats and rearrange the order
in which things are printed.
Put a header with the scan args at the top of the probes-graph.sh data files.
Add a function pcap_print_stats that shows the number of received and dropped pa
ckets for a descriptor.
Call pcap_print_stats after a run of ultra_scan.
Increase the congestion window less aggressively than before with -T4 and -T5 (s
till more aggressivly than with lesser timing values).
