Consolidating fatal() and pfatal() and error(), oh my!

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:10:28 +0000

Posted by Brandon Enright on Aug 29

Hey all,

I have a few additions and changes I'd like to make to Nmap's error
handling routines to aid in debugging. When I started to really look
into things though I realized that we have several places where Nmap
could terminate on error.

In Nbase we have:

I'm having difficulty tracking this issue down. I've tried debugging,
but can't seem to get a breakpoint into the right place to allow me to

Help needed: run Zenmap as root on Fedora

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:59:08 -0600

Posted by David Fifield on Aug 28

Hello,

If you have installed Zenmap from source recently on Unix you may have
noticed that it installs two menu items: "Zenmap" and "Zenmap (as root)".
That's because of the zenmap.desktop and zenmap-root.desktop files that
are now installed in /usr/share/applications,...

nmap command line to execute the nse script only

Hello!

I'm just reading book chapter about NSE:
http://nmap.org/book/nse.html

I'm looking for a command line to execute the script only and exit.
