Nmap 2.54BETA26 (Development) - A network exploration tool and security/port scanner
nor...@freshmeat.net
by Fyodor (http://freshmeat.net/users/fyodor/)
Nmap is a utility for network exploration or security auditing. It supports
ping scanning (determine which hosts are up), many port scanning techniques
(determine what services the hosts are offering), and TCP/IP fingerprinting
(remote host operating system identification). Nmap also offers flexible
target and port specification, decoy scanning, determination of TCP
sequence predictability characteristics, sunRPC scanning, reverse-identd
scanning, and more. Console and X-Window versions are available.
Changes:
Idlescan (IPID blind scan) has been added. The usage syntax is "-sI
<zombie>". A bunch of fingerprints that were corrupt due to
violations of the fingerprint syntax/grammar, a command line option
parsing bug, and an OS fingerprinting bug that caused many extra packets to
be sent if you request a lot of decoys have been fixed. Some debug code has
been added to help diagnose the "Unknown datalink type" error. If
Nmap is giving you this error, please send the following info to
fyo...@insecure.org : 1) The full output from Nmap (including the command
arguments) 2) What OS and OS version are you using 3) What type of adaptor
are you using (modem, ethernet, FDDI, etc). A bunch of IDS
sensor/console/agent port numbers have been added.
