Dear NMAP Developer Team, I noticed a minor typo in the OS Detection Output. The word "VMware" is spelled wrong when reporting the company for an OUI. The "w" should be lower case - not upper case. For example: Here is the current output...
Hi Iben. Unfortunately, that is wrong in the official document at http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt. VMware should really contact the IEEE and canonicalize their name and addresses in that file. As you show in your email, it is even all caps in one case. So while there is little I can do about the varying VMware capitalization until they fix it upstream, I took the opportunity to update the data to correspond with the latest version of http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt. Looking at the changes in r13359, it is clear that companies often get minor capitalization changes put through, so VMware just needs to do that as well. Instructions are at http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml.
