Nmap 4.22SOC6 Released

Hello everyone! I'm pleased to release Nmap 4.22SOC6. It has David's Massping migration stuff as well as a bunch of fixes and small features. Nmap is now in FEATURE FREEZE! Please test it out so that we can stabilize this sucker and get a great stable release out the door! I imagine that "mainstream" users will love all the new features we've packed in during the year. The last stable release was in December of last year, if you can believe it! So its time to show off the huge NSE advances, UMIT, 2nd generation OS detection improvements, all the SoC work, and more! But we can't do that until Nmap has the level of polish and reliability that users (should) expect from open source software! Please give this a try, with a particular emphasis on testing Umit on Windows and UNIX systems, and also David's new ping scan work (massping migration). And then please remember to report your results to nmap-dev. Even if everything worked perfectly, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Here are the goods in the usual formats: http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.22SOC6.tar.bz2 http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.22SOC6-setup.exe http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.22SOC6-win32.zip http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.22SOC6-1.src.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.22SOC6-1.i386.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-4.22SOC6-1.i386.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.22SOC6-1.x86_64.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-4.22SOC6-1.x86_64.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.22SOC6.tgz And here are the changes since 4.22SOC5: o Included David's major massping migration project. The same underlying engine is now uses for ping scanning as for port scanning. We hope this will lead to better performance and accuracy, as well as helping to de-bloat Nmap. Please test it out and report your results to nmap-dev! For more details, see http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q3/0277.html o Fixed UMIT bug which occurred when installing to a non-standard directory (e.g. a home directory). This caused Python to not be able to find the necessary files. [Kris] o Added an NSE script (HTTPpasswd.nse) for finding directory traversal problems and /etc/password files on web servers. [Kris] o Removed win_dependencies cruft from UMIT directory. [Kris] o Upgraded libpcap from version 0.9.4 to 0.9.7 [Kris] o Removed the effectively empty XML elements for traceroute hops which timed out. [Eddie] o Fixed (I hope) a problem with running Nmap on Mac OS X machines with VMWare Fusion running. The error message started with: "getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (vmnet8). A possible cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF devices ...." For more details, see http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q3/0254.html. o Check that --script arguments are reasonable when Nmap starts rather than potentially waiting for a bunch of port scanning to finish first. [Stoiko] o Fixed (we hope) a UMIT problem which resulted in the error message: "NameError: global name 'S_IRUSR' is not defined". [Adriano] o Removed an error message which used to appear when you quit UMIT on Windows. The message used to say "Errors occurred - See the logfile [filename] for details." [Adriano] o Fix permissions on files installed by Umit so that it should work even if you do 'make install' from an account with a 077 umask. o Add a feature to Umit that lets you search your unsaved scans. [Eddie] o Added back a previously removed feature which allows you to specify 'rnd' as one of your decoys (-D option) to let Nmap choose a random IP. You also use a format such as rnd:5 to generate five random decoys. [Kris] o Reference guide (man page) updates to the NSE section, and some general cleanup. o When Nmap finishes, it now says "Nmap done" rather than "Nmap run completed". No need to waste pixels on excess verbiage.
