Hi list, I've noticed that in the http nselib the default user agent is hard coded as "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Nmap Scripting Engine; http://nmap.org/book/nse.html)" this could be easily detected by an IDS/IPS. I've attached a patch that changes it to the user agent pfa Firefox 3.6 web browser on a Windows 7 machine. This would make the http traffic generated look more authentic. Hani
