Subject: Raw sockets elimination in Windows XP SP2
Should this topic already have been discussed on FD, my apologies.
IMHO, crippling the TCP/IP stack instead of Fixing a flawed OS is not the
way to do things.
According the Fyodor, author of Nmap, MS did not even implement it properly,
as Nmap v3.55-SP2 has been provided for a workaround.
MS also throttled TCP connections which affects P2P networks. Now that
companies are embracing P2P for their own internal networks, this is another
reason not to upgrade to SP2.
I guess I will have to leave my laptop dual boot for the time being...
