nnposter promoted to Nmap committer!

[Fyodor <fyodor () nmap org>]

Hi folks.  I'm pleased to announce that nnposter has become Nmap's newest
committer!  This is late in coming, since he's been making great
contributions to Nmap for years!  Examples from the Nmap Changelog:

o [NSE][GH#301] Added default credential checks for RICOH Web Image Monitor
and BeEF to http-default-accounts. [nnposter]
o [NSE] [GH#229] Improve parsing in http.lua for multiple Set-Cookie
headers in a single response.  [nnposter]
o [GH#34] Disable TPACKET_V3 in our included libpcap. This version of the
Linux kernel packet ring API has problems that result in lots of lost
packets. This patch falls back to TPACKET_V2 or earlier versions if
available. [nnposter]
o Enhance Nmap's tcpwrapped service detection by using a shorter timeout
for the tcpwrapped designation. This prevents falsely labeling services as
tcpwrapped which merely have a read timeout shorter than 6 seconds. Full
discussion: http://issues.nmap.org/39 [nnposter, Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Improved http-form-brute autodetection and behavior to handle more
unusual-but-valid HTML syntax, non-POST forms, success/failure testing on
HTTP headers, and more. [nnposter]
o [NSE] Improved ntp-info script to handle underscores in returned data.
[nnposter]
o [NSE] Made telnet-brute support multiple parallel guessing threads, reuse
connections, and support password-only logins. [nnposter]
o [NSE] Rewrote telnet-brute for better compatibility with a variety of
telnet servers. [nnposter]
o Fixed nmap_fetchfile() to better find custom versions of data files such
as nmap-services.  Note that the implicitly read directory  should be
~/.nmap rather than ~/nmap .  So you may have to move any customized files
you now have in ~/nmap .  Thanks to nnposter for reporting the problem and
sending a patch.

Keep up the great work, nnposter!

Cheers,
Fyodor
