I believe the purpose of these asserts was to quiet a compiler warning
in r24309, but the rest of that revision (marking fatal as a
non-returning function) should do the job.

Applied patch from Dhiru Kholia adding oracle-brute-stealth and needed changes
reworked the patch slightly and added;
- support for specifying account on command line
- johnfile argument for writing hashes directly to file
When an interface doesn't have an address set, getInterfaceByName can
fail because it checks the address family. The fatal error message would
be something like
route_dst_netlink: can't find interface "tap0"
If we can't find an interface with a specific address family, fall back
with an AF_UNSPEC search.

The Linux-specific SO_BINDTODEVICE sockopt causes packets to be sent on
a specific interface, in cases where merely setting the source address
does not uniquely determine the interface.
The exceptions are the calls in ncat/ncat_connect.c and
nping/EchoServer.cc. Ncat doesn't have an option for the interface, and
I think Nping's -e option is only meant to apply to probes, not to the
echo server listener.
This was an old library removed in r2811 and r2812, of which a few
traces remained.
I don't know the purpose of this in nbase_misc.c:
if(sd != 501) // Hack related to WinIP Raw Socket support
ioctlsocket (sd, FIONBIO, &one);
There are some other #ifdefs that are used on other platforms, in which
code intf_name might nto be set but will continue to be an empty string
as before.
