-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hey guys, I spent the last couple weeks integrating TONS of submitted service fingerprints as well as a number of great patches (mostly portability related) that have been sent. Wow! I still have more service submissions to go through, but I don't want to delay this release any longer. I also improved the version detection capabilities somewhat. I hope to do an official 3.48 release within a couple days, but first I am putting out this unofficial source-only 3.47 release: http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-3.47.tar.bz2 http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-3.47.tgz Please let me know if you encounter any problems with this release. If no major issues are discovered, I'll probably do a public 3.48 release within a few days (maybe even on Friday). MD5sums: b656136db282bd38da7b532e3889f070 nmap-3.47.tar.bz2 c8779409e73634617bc7af97c2119842 nmap-3.47.tgz These release notes should be signed with my PGP key, which is available at http://www.insecure.org/fyodor_gpgkey.txt . The key fingerprint is: 97 2F 93 AB 9C B0 09 80 D9 51 40 6B B9 BC E1 7E Here are the changes since 3.45: o Integrated an enormous number of version detection service submissions. The database has almost doubled in size to 663 signatures representing the following 130 services: 3dm-http afp apcnisd arkstats bittorent chargen citrix-ica cvspserver cvsup dantzretrospect daytime dict directconnect domain echo eggdrop exec finger flexlm font-service ftp ftp-proxy gnats gnutella-http hddtemp hp-gsg http http-proxy hylafax icecast ident imap imaps imsp ipp irc ircbot irc-proxy issrealsecure jabber kazaa-http kerberos-sec landesk-rc ldap linuxconf lmtp lotusnotes lpd lucent-fwadm meetingmaker melange microsoft-ds microsoft-rdp mldonkey msactivesync msdtc msrpc ms-sql-m mstask mud mysql napster ncacn_http ncp netbios-ns netbios-ssn netrek netsaint netstat netwareip networkaudio nntp nsclient nsunicast ntop-http omniback oracle-mts oracle-tns pcanywheredata pksd pmud pop2 pop3 pop3s poppass postgresql powerchute printer qotd redcarpet rendezvous rlogind rpc rsync rtsp sdmsvc sftp shell shivahose sieve slimp3 smtp smux snpp sourceoffice spamd ssc-agent ssh ssl svrloc symantec-av symantec-esm systat telnet time tinyfw upnp uucp veritasnetbackup vnc vnc-http vtun webster whois wins winshell wms X11 xfce zebra o Added the ability to execute "helper functions" in version templates, to help clean up/manipulate data captured from a server response. The first defined function is P() which includes only printable characters in a captured string. The main impetus for this is to deal with unicode strings like "W\0O\0R\0K\0G\0R\0O\0U\0P\0" that many MS protocols send. Nmap can now decode that into "WORKGROUP". o Added SUBST() helper function, which replaces strings in matched appname/version/extrainfo strings with something else. For example, VanDyke Vshell gives a banner that includes "SSH-2\.0-VShell_2_2_0_528". A substring match is used to pick out the string "2_2_0_528", and then SUBST(1,"_",".") is called on that match to form the version number 2.2.0.528. o If responses to a probe fail to match any of the registered match strings for that probe, Nmap will now try against the registered "null probe" match strings. This helps in the case that the NULL probe initially times out (perhaps because of initial DNS lookup) but the banner appears in later responses. o Applied some portability fixes (particularly for OpenBSD) from Chad Loder (cloder(a)loder.us), who is also now the OpenBSD Nmap port maintainer. o Applied some portability fixes from Marius Strobl (marius(a)alchemy.franken.de). o The tarball distribution of Nmap now strips the binary at install time thanks to a patch from Marius Strobl (marius(a)alchemy.franken.de). o Fixed a problem related to building Nmap on systems that lack PCRE libs (and thus have to use the ones included by Nmap). Thanks to Remi Denis-Courmont (deniscr6(a)cti.ecp.fr) for the repot and patch. o Alphebetized the service names in each Probe section in nmap-service-probes (makes them easier to find and add to). o Fixed the problem several people reported where Nmap would quit with a "broken pipe" error during service scanning. Thanks to Jari Ruusu (jari.ruusu(a)pp.inet.fi) for sending a patch. The actual error message was "Unexpected error in NSE_TYPE_READ callback. Error code: 32 (Broken pipe)" o Fixed protocol scan (-sO), which I had broken when adding the new output table format. It would complain "NmapOutputTable.cc:128: failed assertion `row < numRows'". Thanks to Matt Burnett (marukka(a)mac.com) for notifying me of the problem. o Upgraded Libpcap to the latest tcpdump.org version (0.7.2) from 0.7.1 o Applied a patch from Peter Marschall (peter(a)adpm.de) which adds version detection support to nmapfe. o Fixed a problem with XML output being invalid when service detection was done on SSL-tunneled ports. Thanks to the several people who reported this - it means that folks are actually using the XML output :). o Fixed (I hope) some Solaris Sun ONE compiler compilation problems reported (w/patches) by Mikael Mannstrom (candyman(a)penti.org) o Fixed the --with-openssl configure option for people who have OpenSSL installed in a path not automatically found by their compilers. Thanks to Marius Strobl (marius(a)alchemy.franken.de) for the patch. o Made some portability changes for HP-UX and possibly other types of machines, thanks to a patch from Petter Reinholdtsen (pere(a)hungry.com) o Applied a patch from Matt Selsky (selsky () columbia edu) which fixes compilation on some Solaris boxes, and maybe others. The error said "cannot compute sizeof (char)" o Applied some patches from the NetBSD ports tree that Hubert Feyrer (hubert.feyrer(a)informatik.fh-regensburg.de) sent me. The NetBSD Nmap ports page is at http://www.NetBSD.org/packages/net/nmap/ . o Applied some Makefile patches from the FreeBSD ports tree that I found at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/nmap/files/ Cheers, - -Fyodor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iQCVAwUBP305G84dPqJTWH2VAQGm6wP+MrFCpyeMnJdrnWSblZ5NioExy5ELE6Ar C6xkH76itMpYN3L/pZ5BXzKG/SnTyQiSh2rLMjibOvFSYFpjqVywpDuehXweTAe3 B4tWL1mwRUF1QcsPZLaqfj0NYcNTV8V2l7OEwbasAkgDAVMs/l9bTMTDWtVHAp1T nPfjtfDpMJM= =8DTS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- For help using this (nmap-dev) mailing list, send a blank email to nmap-dev-help () insecure org .
