Hi everyone. I spent all day today integrating OS fingerprints, and managed to get 200 more of your submissions processed. Let's take a look at how we're doing compared to Nmap OSv1 and other tools: Synscan (0.1): 25 signatures SinFP (2.06): 140 signatures Xprobe2 (0.3): 225 signatures Nmap Gen2 (4.21ALPHA4): 417 signatures Nmap Gen1 (4.21ALPHA4): 1,684 signatures So our signature count is ahead of all the other tools put together, and we are already to 25% as many sigs as OSv1. Not bad considering that OSv1 had a 9 year head start! So I have just released Nmap 4.21ALPHA4 and posted it to the Nmap download page: http://insecure.org/nmap/download.html Please give it a try and let me know quickly if you find any problems! If all is well tomorrow morning, I plan to put out a release to the Nmap-hackers. I think this version is better for most people than 4.20 due to the substantial OS detection improvements, and the many bugfixes. Not to mention the cool experimental features such as NSE and traceroute. Here are the changes since ALPHA3: o Performed another big OS detection run. The DB has grown almost 10% to 417 fingerprints. All submissions up to February 6 have been processed. Please keep them coming! o Fixed XML output so that the opening <os> tag is printed again. The line which prints this was somehow removed when NSE was integrated. Thanks to Joshua Abraham for reporting the problem. o Fixed a small bug in traceroute progress output which didn't properly indicate completion. [Kris] o Fixed a portability problem related to the new traceroute functionality so that it compiles on Mac OS X. Thanks to Christophe Thil for reporting the problem and sending the 1-line fix. o Updated nmap-mac-prefixes to include the latest MAC prefix (OUI) data from the IEEE as of March 20, 2007.
