  1. Nov 09, 2017  The problem with 'nMap has stopped working. Windows will let you know if the problem is fixed' occurs 3-4-5-6 times each morning when I turn my desktop Windows 10 computer on. It happens before I attempt to do any task(s). Only recent change is Comcast/Xfinity put in a new bridge/modem. I'll take a screenshot(s) when it occurs again.
  2. Part 5: Nmap on Windows 10. Why should you use Nmap. Nmap is a network mapping tool with a ton of other useful features. Many security researchers and pentester’s use this open-source tool. Nmap is also a favorite tool for both black and white hat hackers.
  3. Nmap is a network administration tool that allows you to find security gaps in a network and detect connected devices. It is a free open-source tool that is ideal for system administrators. You can use it to track ports and evaluate network security, as well as to get information about the same.
  4. This free software is an intellectual property of Gordon Lyon. This free PC program was developed to work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 and can function on 32-bit systems. This download was checked by our built-in antivirus and was rated as malware free.

Nmap is fully supported as a native Windows application. No need to use WSL. – bonsaiviking Sep 18 '18 at 16:30. Install Nmap on Windows. You cannot scan your own machine from itself (using a loopback IP address of 127.0.0.1 or any of its registered IP addresses). Only Ethernet interfaces are supported (including most 802.11 wireless cards) for raw packet scans. Some scans (such as the connect scan) are much slower than on Linux. Here are the steps to install Nmap on Windows.

dnet: Failed to open device eth0 - error with nmap 7.70 on Windows 10 ; I started a CMD (run as administrator) , but the problem persists. Already rebooted once, but the problem remains.

dnet isn't doing something silly such as wiring in the name 'eth0', under the assumption that it must be running on Linux, is it? If so, it needs to be fixed not to do so - I don't think you're even guaranteed to have your first Ethernet adapter named 'eth0' on Linux.

Any fix? getting this on Win7 too

I don't think you're even guaranteed to have your first Ethernet adapter named 'eth0' on Linux

If I remember correctly, when I booted one of my virtual machines yesterday, which running Ubuntu 16.04, the one and only Ethernet adapter was named 'eth33', so, yes, defaulting to a hard-wired 'eth0' is a Bad Idea even in code never expected to run on anything other than Linux.

Nmap For Windows 10 64 Bit

Having the same error on win10.

Had nmap 7.40 installed previously which gave the same exact error. So I upgraded to 7.70 hoping it would be fixed.

What does nmap --iflist State of texas marriage license requirements. print? And do you have a working Windump/tcpdump or WireShark? If not, it's not Nmap's fault.

commented Aug 14, 2018

It's the fault of whatever code is under the delusion that 'eth0' is an appropriate device to open on Windows.

(It's also not an appropriate device to open on: macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc.

It's not even guaranteed to be an appropriate device to open on Linux!)

First of all: It's working now for me.

I got the error when doing an Intense scan on 192.168.2.*; Then I did a Ping scan which did work. Then I closed nmap. When I read your comment I ran nmap --iflist (see output below). It listed eth0. Then I started nmap again, ran an Intense scan and now it worked. Not sure what exactly fixed it.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I don't have Wireshark installed and neither windump/tcpdump (at least not that I know of).

Output of nmap --iflist (censored some stuff):

.. the delusion that 'eth0' .

It's not a delusion. It's an adaption to make Nmap more Posix-like. Have you actually used Nmap on Windows? Press the CLICK ME above and see what device-names are behind those ethX names.

Edit: Or rather, dnet's attempt of making programs (like Nmap) handle device-names more the same across platforms (a good thing IMHO).

I was able to get this to work by installing nmap 7.70 without selecting npcap 0.99-r2.

Got the same error win7 ultimate. Upgrade software, reboot several times, no effect. No solution to this?

Nmap Windows 10 Install

Had the same issue. For me it was solved by replacing the installation of npcap 0.99-r9 (was installed with wireshark) with version 0.99-r2. The latter one is working well now.

commented Apr 8, 2019

I remove the npcap 0.99-r9 and install the last version of npcap Npcap 0.992 and the problem was solved. > https://nmap.org/npcap/

commented May 9, 2019

I found the problem happen on Ubuntu 18.10 when install by snap install nmap which is 7.7
when apt install nmap to install 7.6, problem gone

commented May 30, 2019

Reinstalled Npcap on Win 10, works now.

commented May 30, 2019

This problem should be solved with Npcap 0.995. If you are having this problem with Nmap 7.70, first upgrade Npcap to the latest version from https://npcap.org/#download and try again. If you still have a problem, please open a new bug report. Thanks!
