Hi everyone. I'm pleased to release Nmap 4.23RC2 with all of our Thanksgiving week changes. We are really getting close to the 10th anniversary Nmap release now! I think we can finish it within two weeks (by December 11). So please test this sucker out and report any problems to the list. You can simply update your svn, or grab the release over the web: http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.23RC3.tar.bz2 http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.23RC3-setup.exe http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.23RC3-win32.zip http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.23RC3-1.src.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.23RC3-1.i386.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.23RC3-1.x86_64.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/zenmap-4.23RC3-1.noarch.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.23RC3.tgz Here are the changes since 4.23RC2: o Zenmap now has a man page! It isn't very long yet, but covers the basics. Thanks to David for writing this. o A new NSE script, promiscuous.nse, scans devices on a local network looking for sniffers (devices running in promiscuous mode). This script is from Marek Majkowski and is the first to use the NSE pcap extension system (which he also wrote). The script is in the demo category for now (due to feature freeze), so specify it explicitly to try it out. o Nmap can now handle IP aliases on Windows. A given device such as eth0 might have several IP addresses. Nmap will use the primary address, so you need to use -S if you want to specify a different one. [David] o An exception (rather than luaL_argerror) is now thrown when an SSL connection is attempted but OpenSSL isn't available. [David] o There is now an nmap.have_ssl NSE function so you can avoid doing NSE probes when SSL isn't available. [David] o Zenmap gives clearer error messages when an import error occurs or Zenmap's dump files aren't found. [David] o Zenmap now looks for its data files relative to the directory of the zenmap script to allow running from the build/svn directory. [David] o NSE C modules are now installed into an nselib-bin directory. This was needed to make the dns-test-open-recursion and zoneTrans NSE scripts work properly, since they use the NSE bit library (bit.so). [Diman, Fyodor] o Auxillary autoconf scripts such as config.guess, config.sub, depcomp, install-sh, and ltmain.sh were deleted from Nmap subdirectories because configure is smart enough to use the ones from the parent directory. This decreases the Nmap source tarball and svn checkout sizes. [David] o Nmap now compiles on systems which have the libPCRE include file in pcre/pcre.h rather than just pcre.h. Thanks to Lionel Cons for the report. [Fyodor] o Nmap binary is now stripped again, but it now uses -x to avoid stripping dynamically loaded NSE functions on Mac OS X. [David] o Normalized Zenmap's handling of results files specified on the command line. In some cases, Zenmap would ignore specified results files just because some unrelated options were used. [David] o configure.ac now uses literal directory names rather than variable references in calls to AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS. This removes an annoying warning message which has existed for years when you regenerate configure. [David] o Fixed a configure.ac error which prevented you from specifying an alternative libnsock directory. [David] o Check for Python in configure only if Zenmap is requested, and bail out if Zenmap is explicitly requested (--with-zenmap) and Python is not available. [David] o Removed some unimplemented Zenmap command-line options and function calls. [David] Enjoy, Fyodor _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
