nmap and XP SP2

There are some interesting discussions about the loss of raw socket support in the new Windows XP SP2. 

Dominick Baier, Ian Griffiths, and Dana Epp are understandably upset, especially in regards to the nmap security tool.

Michael Howard gives a little more info on what raw sockets support is and isn't left after XP SP2 is installed.

And, Dana provides a patch to get nmap working again under XP SP2.

Attempt? The patch is working fine :) I already have a dozen emails from people saying it worked well for them.

Gotta love blogs. Thanks for the link to Ian's entry. Didn't see that one today.

Oops.. sorry, "attempt" was definitely the wrong word. Fixed.
