Hello, While scanning at random in order to test integration of nmap results in mysql, I've found the following situation : Nmap 5.36TEST3 with cmdline : nmap -iR 1000 -A -oX integration_test3.xml One particular IP address gave me two osclass entries that are very similar : <osclass type="general purpose" vendor="FreeBSD" osfamily="FreeBSD" osgen="5.X" accuracy="95"/> <osclass type="general purpose" vendor="FreeBSD" osfamily="FreeBSD" osgen="5.x" accuracy="88"/> Is it normal / useful to get exactly the same osclass description except for the capital/lowercase X and for the accuracy ? I've noticed that there are only 3 Class entries in nmap-os-db that contains a lowercase '.x' - and all are related to FreeBSD 5.x... EDIT: while writing this mail, I've found the solution : just changing lowercase x to a capital X in the os-db file solved the problem : only one line for FreeBSD 5.X is output in the xml file. Please update nmap-os-db ! :) Many thanks Julien _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
