[Bug]: [ether] [error] could bind a multicast socket to port 50985

[albertorogue]

Expected Behavior

In windows some ports cannot be used because they are reserved (even if they are not currently in use).

For instance the Host Network Service (HNS) excludes multiple ports.

You can find all the excluded ports executing this command:

netsh int ipv6 show excludedportrange protocol=udp
 
Protocolo udp Intervalos de exclusión de puertos
 
Puerto de inicio    Puerto final
----------          --------
     50000       50059     *
     50095       50194
     50195       50294
     50295       50394
     50395       50494
     50495       50594
     50595       50694
     50695       50794
     50795       50894
     50895       50994
 
* - Exclusiones de puertos administrados.

Current Behavior

When I try to run sen it fails with this exception:

[ether] [error] could bind a multicast socket to port 50985 : Intento de acceso a un socket no permitido por sus permisos de acceso.

Possible solution

Check if the port is in use, but also if it not reserved

Steps to reproduce

sen run xxxx.yaml (with ether module)
