Nmap 3.21CSW Unofficial Release

I don't have time to do an official Nmap release before heading to Canada tomorrow, but I stuck an unofficial "CanSecWest" release up at: http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/?M=D The changes follow: o I added UDP-based "ping" scanning. The -PU option can take an optional portlist like the TCP "ping" options (-PS, -PA), but it sends a UDP packet to the targets and expects hosts that are up to reply with a port unreachable (or possibly a UDP response if the port is open). This one is likely to work best against closed ports, since many open ports don't respond to empty requests. o Fixed an "assertion failure" which would cause Nmap to exit when you specify a --max_rtt_timeout below 3000. Thanks to Tammy Rathbun (rathbun2 () llnl gov) and Jan Roger Wilkens (jrw () proseq net) for reporting this. o Fixed a GCC dependency reported by Ayamura Kikuchi (ayamura () keio net) o Fixed a divide by zero error caused when nonroot users (on UNIX) explicitly request ICMP pings (which require root privileges). Now it prints a warning and uses the normal nonroot TCP connect() ping. Jaroslav Sladek (jup () matfyz cz) found the bug and provided the patch. o Changed the wording of NmapFE Gnome entries to better-comply with Gnome's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). Suggested by Axel Krauth (krauth () fmi uni-passau de) o Made Nmap more tolerant of corrupt nmap-services and nmap-protocols files thanks to report & patch sent by Phix (phix () hush com) o Added some more port numbers sent in by Seth Master (smaster () stanford edu). He has been a frequent nmap-services contributor in the last couple months. o Removed superfluous "addport" line in the XML output (patch from Max Schubert (nmap () webwizarddesign com)). o Fixed an assertion failure crash related to combining port 0 scans and OS scan. Thanks to A.Jones () mvv de for reporting this. Enjoy! -Fyodor --------------------------------------------------------------------- For help using this (nmap-dev) mailing list, send a blank email to nmap-dev-help () insecure org .
