Hi Daniel, Thank you for reporting this. Nping requires SHA-256 for its "Echo Mode" protocol but, as you may know, it is possible to disable cryptographic support using: ./configure --with-openssl=no Unfortunately there is no way to have crypto support without SHA-256, so users with OpenSSL<=0.97 will have to upgrade (0.9.8 has been around for almost 6 years so I expect systems with 0.9.7 or less to be a tiny fraction)
You'd be surprised. There's still a lot of OS X 10.5 users around as that's the last version that supports ppc and there are still a LOT of ppc Mac users.
Anyway, I've added a check for EVP_sha256() that aborts compilation in case of failure. I attach a new version of configure.ac. Could you please give a try and let me know if it works? Thank you and best regards, Luis MartinGarcia.
This looks fine, but as I only have OS X 10.6, which has openssl 0.9.8, I can't test. Daniel _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
