when I adapted some libdnet 1.11 code to convert a dnet name to a pcap name by
matching hardware addresses. I removed an earlier comment that this one
supersedes.
Visual C++ 2008 runtime components if they aren't already installed
on a system. These are some reasonably small DLLs that are
generally necessary for applications compiled with Visual C++ (with
dynamic linking). Many or most systems already have these installed
from other software packages. The lack of these components led to
the error message "The Application failed to intialize properly
(0xc0150002)." with Nmap 4.65. A related change is that Nmap on
Windows is now compiled with /MD rather than /MT so that it
consistently uses these runtime libraries. The patch was created by
Rob Nicholls.
addresses if matching IP addresses fails. I have a feeling this is more
reliable than matching IP addresses, but as I'm not sure, I have made it the
backup so that nothing will stop working that was working before. The MAC
address matching works fine for me if I disable the IP address matching. The
code is adapted from libdnet 1.11.
all of the dnet device's addresses, not just the first one. This is a long shot
to fix the "dnet: Failed to open eth4" problem on Vista, but it's the right
thing anyway.
Ensuring the safety of assert() calls by keeping NDEBUG undefined throughout
Nmap, Nbase and Nsock.
I've tested this on Linux and Windows XP without problems. On Windows I've
removed the definitions of _DEBUG and NDEBUG from the *.vcproj files.
recognize devices with type INTF_TYPE_IEEE80211 as Ethernet devices.
This ought to make wireless network scanning work on Windows Vista. For

ltmain.sh, and missing from subdirectories. Autoconf automatically looks
in the parent directory for these files. I had to copy the files
depcomp, ltmain.sh, and missing into the root of the source tree.
(These get mapped to interfaces beginning with "net": net0, net1, etc.) I
originally planned to make this a debugging message to be displayed at a
certain debuggin level whether the interface type is recognized or not. It
looked to be a pain to give libdnet visibility of Nmap debugging level, so
instead it just prints a message to stderr only when the interface type is
unrecognized.
