TomatoUSB

Running Tomato v1.28.9054 MIPSR2-beta K26 USB vpn3.6 here, works fine.

I tried first to get the package nmap - 5.35DC1-1 ( http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable//nmap_5.35DC1-1_mipsel.ipk ) running, but it says "nmap: can't load library 'liblua.so'". So I tried to download and compile lua, putting liblua.so in /opt/lib. I was successful, but this time nmap just waits forever after starting.

I also downloaded the latest nmap source from nmap.org and it compiles fine ( after updating a newer grep ). But after installing with a different prefix ( /opt/localsrc ), when I try to run, it complains:

Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-09-01 18:59 CEST
pcap_open_live(br0, 100, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: live packet capture not supported on this system. Will wait 5 seconds then retry.

libpcap is installed, and I can run tcpdump with no problem, so I am not sure the error is correct.

Anyone managed to make nmap run on TomatoUSB ?

Thanks
Michele

Yes, I have.

I posted a roll of it on the thread in my sig (below). Worked for me.

If you think there is a dependency problem, please let use know.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, at least on my machine, I definitely need the package "lua - 5.1.4-3" ( I discovered later already exists in the repository ) in order to run nmap_5.35DC1-1_mipsel.
The fact that I have problems when I run it, may be related to my config, I really have no clue now.

Anyway, I had already seen your excellent list, but I always got the error "Package nmap md5sum mismatch. Either the ipkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'ipkg update'." when trying to install any of these packages. May be something in my ipkg installation ( I have ipkg version 0.99.163. ) is broken, even if I had not so many problems apart these with nmap…

IIRC, it throws up the md5sum message when the file you are trying to install has a different md5sum than the one in the repository listed in your ipkg settings. Not sure if you can delete the md5sum (IIRC someone in my thread mentioned the same problem and a workaround for it)… TBH, I think I've worked around it by just temporarily disabling my ipkg feed URL. (just comment it out w/ a #).

I'm having the same problem. Nmap is installed. All of the dependencies are installed, but when I run it, it just hangs. I can't find a solution for this anywhere. I'm surprised the problem has gone on for this long. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hello everybody,

I have the same problem with my ASUS RT-N66U and Tomato by Shibby V109.

NMAP starts but hangs and consumes all CPU after writing the line: "Starting Nmap 5.35DC1 ( hxxp://nmap.org ) at 2013-06-11 12:14 CEST".

The installed dependencies are :
libpcap - 1.3.0-1
openssl - 0.9.7m-6
pcre - 8.31-1
lua - 5.1.5-1

Any solution is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Have had no issue with nmap/nmap-ssl on the same build, same router model. However, I'm also using Entware and its default feed list which installs version 6.01.

Thank you for your reply craleon, I move my opt partition to entware, Nmap is now working.
