nmap kills my interface!

nmap kills my interface!

Post by firewall_f.. » Thu, 03 Jun 1999 04:00:00





eth1 to nothing at the moment, but soon to a DSL router.

When I use nmap (from another Linux box) to scan 192.168.0.201, the
interface goes dead. I can still ping it from the box itself, but it
cannot ping other PC's, and other PC's can no longer ping it. If I use
UserNet to restart eth0, it works again until I hit it with nmap. I'm
using nmap 2.2beta4-1 with the included GUI to perform the scan.
Settings are the startup defaults, SYN Stealth, TCP & ICMP, OS
Detection (nmap -sT -O 192.168.0.201)

Am I inadvertantly executing a DOS attack on my own server?

Help please..

Also, thanks to those responding to my earlier firewall/masquerading
post.

A little something to add - even if I don't scan with nmap, the
interface will still die after a period of time. about 10 seconds, in
fact when using tcpdump. Restart it (ipconfig eth0 down, ipconfig eth0
up) and all is well again. It seems to last longer if I don't use it
for anything. As soon as I run tcpdump to listen for traffic, it dies
in < 10 S, no errors, just quits.

Bad 3c509 adapter - sorry for the false alarm. Replaced it, all works
fine.

1. nmap and eth interfaces

Hi,
I'm looking for someone that are using nmap on AIX 4.3.2
Here is the question:

my pre-compiled nmap don't see the eth device (en2 on may box).
I'm trying with -e paramiter to force it to use the right ethernet but
does'n work, there is not an valid entry-point and so ".. file not found
..."
Any idea?
Thank you in advance

        Gianni
