Hello everyone, I just released Nmap 2.03, you can obtain it from the normal place ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ). The biggest change is that I have finally incorporated all the OS fingerprints that have been flooding in since 2.02. Thanks go to the following people for contributing fingerprints for this release: Dan Stahlke, Peter van Dijk, Peter Keel, Anthony J. Bettini,J ackal/XTC, R Sriram, sena, Emmanuel Tychon [C], Beat Rubischon, Jordan Ritter, Bryan Thompson, Dale Lovelace ,Mark, ace24, Erik Parker, Richard Reiner, austin wood, Michael T.

Buchanan, Adam Shand The Deviant If you sent in fingerprints, please test to insure the hosts are now detected. If not, let me know. Also there is a new system for fingerprint submissions. James W. Abendschan <jwa () jammed com> generously wrote a really useful CGI that you can use for this purpose. I customized a few little things and put it up at http://www.insecure.org/cgi-bin/nmap-submit.cgi . It is easier for me if use this CGI to rather than sending fingerprints to me directly. Please don't send fingerprints to the list -- I'll release a new fingerprint file whenever I collect a bunch of them. As usual, I have put the new fingerprint file in /nmap/nmap-os-fingerprints in case you don't want to upgrade the whole program. Here are some other changes for this release: * Ian Macdonald <ian () caliban org> sent me another .spec file and I finished merging all the .spec files people have sent me into one super .spec file to create RPMs. I am now distributing src and (Linux) binary RPMs from the web page. I am no RPM expert, so let me know if you find problems or have suggestions. * Nmap was patched to work around an OpenBSD bug which prevents connect() scans from working with OBSD 2.4. Job de Haas tracked the problem down and sent me the patch. * Nmap's ./configure script was created from the new version of autoconf (2.13) * Fixed a potential seg fault with certain goofy arguments (found by Pedro Ribeiro) * Fixed 'nmap -F ' state mismatch error found by datawar () usa net and Mark Smith * Matthew Franz' broadcast problem should be fixed. Broadcasting a UDP scan doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is better than the EPERM timeouts. I might fix it a different way for the next version. Be sure and test this version out and let me know if you find problems. Cheers, Fyodor -- Fyodor 'finger pgp () www insecure org | pgp -fka' Frustrated by firewalls? Try nmap: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ "I might be able to shoehorn a reference count in on top of the numeric value by disallowing multiple references on scalars with a numeric value, but but it wouldn't be as clean. I do occasionally worry about that." -Larry Wall
