" - TCP data cannot be sent over raw sockets, UDP datagrams with invalid source addresses cannot be sent over raw sockets. However, the ability to send traffic over raw sockets has been restricted in two ways: Michael Howard, security program manager on the XP team, posted an interesting entry ("A little more info on raw sockets and Windows XP SP2," at the first URL below) to his blog that excerpts a portion of the Microsoft document "Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP SP2."

According to a message posted by Nmap author, Fyodor, on his Web site, someone from Microsoft stated that Microsoft changed raw socket operation because "the only apps using \ on XP were people writing attack tools." The reason is that in SP2, Microsoft changed the way raw sockets (which are used by Nmap) operate.
