Description:
It seems like nmap have some kind of incompatibility with newer versions of libpcap. Some scripts don't work as expected. Recompiling with --with-libpcap=included fixes all the problems.

Steps to reproduce:
sudo nmap -sn your_gateway_ip --script ip-forwarding --script-args='target=8.8.8.8'

Expected result:
Host script results:
| ip-forwarding:
|_ The host has ip forwarding enabled, tried ping against (8.8.8.8)

Actual result:
None

I'd rather make nmap fully compatible with newer libpcap releases. Has this issue been reported upstream? Is a patch available to fix it?

I wrote about it only today to dev@nmap.org.

Thanks. Let's wait a few days to see if upstream has anything to say about that.

Any updates on this?

We should be asking that question upstream. Grrr.

Okay, I'll build against the included libpacp until we can avoid it.
