	Raw packets and SP2 Posted by endocrantz on 04/13/2005 @ 08:07:38 PST [Follow Ups] [Post Followup] [Message Index] I sampled netbrute on a few machines recently. It's a nice tool, but I sense it suffers from XP SP2 raw packet blocking. Others have worked around the issue by using a lower layer, e.g. Ethernet without signifcant additional development effort. As MS wishes we all install SP2 -- else in the future not get security patches, I suspect netbrute will become obsolete without the fix. A discussion worth reviewing is nmap's approach, most ontably a workaround patch submitted: http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2004/Jul-Sep/0031.html I believe it's worth the effort. This is a useful tool, and should continue to be so. Thanks, Andy Follow Ups: Post a Followup Username: Password: Subject: Comments: : I sampled netbrute on a few machines recently.
