RE: superscan on win2k vs winxp

Or use an operating system that still supports raw sockets for scanning
purposes (Linux, BSD, etc. etc.) Or use Windows pre XP XP2. Win2003
Server would also work...I follow the nmap lists and it was broken with
XP SP2 and there was a workaround (which was broken with MS05-019 later
:) )

Microsoft removed raw socket support with their SP2... So you can not
scan with custom created ( SYN, FIN scan... ) packets. Scan with TCP
connect().
