Calin's Humble Scanner - User Guide

## Credits

Credits, acknowledgments and thanks goes to:

- The WinPcap Team for their WinPcap library. I am using the library for sending and receiving raw data to the network.
- The ones that maintains the RFC collection and the ones that have writted and contribute to those RFC's.
- The ones behind IANA for their work.
- Dimitri van Heesch for Doxygen. I am using it to build (for my private use only) the documentation of my classes.
- Authors of xsltproc. I am using the `xsltproc` application to transform this documentation from `xml` files to `html` files.
- Gerald Combs for his excellent application Ethereal (and to all those that have contributed to the development of Ethereal). That application sure helped me when I had to discover the behaviour of various operating systems, for implementing the Operating System Mimic Tehnology.
- Fyodor for his excellent application nmap. It's a long time since I have first seen and used `nmap`. I am still using it, from time to time, on a Linux station. Since I have first used `nmap` I wanted to have a similar application under Windows (especially because, the reason is not important, I am forced to use for most of my work a Windows station).
  `CHScanner` is not and is not intended to be a `nmap` clone.
  If you wonder, there are and will always be differences in the feature set, workflow and philosophy between `CHScanner` and `nmap`.
- Shawn Cokus for it's implementation of Mersenne Twister random number generator MT19937. His work was derived from Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura implementation.
  Starting from his public code I have build a C++ class for the MT19937 random number generator. You can find the C++ code on my web site.
- Daiji Sanai for writing the Detection of Promiscuous Nodes Using ARP Packets paper. To Kelvin King-Pang Tsang for translation. To the Security Friday web site for publishing. I have succeded to probe the functionality of the concept against Windows XP Professional SP 2, Linux kernel 2.6 and Windows Server 2003 and I have builded the Find Promiscuous Nodes scan method based on it.
- Last but definitelly not least, to the ones that has allowed me to consume some important parts of my free time to write the `CHScanner` application.
