Two nmap/firewall questions: 1) I am using the firestarter firewall. When I try to scan a server with nmap I get repeated "operation not permitted" and my firewall's logs show blocked hits from MY ip. why is this?
2) when I stop the firewall and type nmap -sF -F -O xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on a serveur which I know for a fact is up and running and which I can ping - I get nothing (even without the flags). Nmap returns nothing at all. what am I doing wrong here BTW - when I run nmap on 127.0.0.1 it works just fine. thanks in advance!
