Update to version 4.00
Changes: 4.00: ===== - Added the '?' command to the runtime interaction system. It prints a list of accepted commands. Thanks to Andrew Lutomirski (luto(a)myrealbox.com) for the patch. 3.9999: ======= - Generated a new libpcre/configure to cope with changes in LibPCRE 6.4 - Updated nmap-mac-prefixes to reflect the latest OUI DB from the IEEE (http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt) - Updated nmap-protocols with the latest IEEE internet protocols assignments (http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers). - Updated the Nmap version number and related fields that MS Visual Studio places in the binary. This was done by editing mswin32/nmap.rc. 3.999: ====== - Added runtime interaction support to Windows, thanks to patches from Andrew Lutomirski (luto(a)myrealbox.com) and Gisle Vanem (giva(a)bgnett.no). - Changed a couple lines of tcpip.cc (put certain IP header fields in host byte order rather than NBO) to (hopefully) support Mac OS X on Intel. Thanks to Kurt Grutzmacher (grutz(a)jingojango.net) for the patch. - Upgraded the included LibPCRE from version 6.3 to 6.4. There was a report of version detection crashes on the new Intel-based MACs with 6.3. - Fixed an issue in which the installer would malfunction in rare issues when installing to a directory with spaces in it. Thanks to Thierry Zoller (Thierry(a)Zoller.lu) for the report. 3.99: ===== - Integrated all remaining 2005 service submissions. The DB now has surpassed 3,000 signatures for the first time. There now are 3,153 signatures for 381 service protocols. Those protocols span the gamut from abc, acap, afp, and afs to zebedee, zebra, and zenimaging. It even covers obscure protocols such as http, ftp, smtp, and ssh :). Thanks to Version Detection Czar Doug Hoyte for his excellent work on this. - Created a Windows executable installer using the open source NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System). It handles Pcap installation, registry performance changes, and adding Nmap to your cmd.exe executable path. The installer source files are in mswin32/nsis/ . Thanks to Google SoC student Bo Jiang (jiangbo(a)brandeis.edu) for creating the initial version. - Fixed a backward compatibility bug in which Nmap didn't recognize the --min_rtt_timeout option (it only recognized the newly hyphenated --min-rtt-timeout). Thanks to Joshua D. Abraham (jabra(a)ccs.neu.edu) for the bug report. - Fixed compilation to again work with gcc-derivatives such as MingW. Thanks to Gisle Vanem (giva(a)bgnett.no) for sending the patches 3.98BETA1: ========== - Added run time interaction as documented at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/man/man-runtime-interaction.html . While Nmap is running, you can now press 'v' to increase verbosity, 'd' to increase the debugging level, 'p' to enable packet tracing, or the capital versions (V,D,P) to do the opposite. Any other key (such as enter) will print out a status message giving the estimated time until scan completion. This only works on UNIX for now. Do we have any volunteers to add Windows support? You would need to change a handful of UNIX-specific termio calls with the Windows equivalents. This feature was created by Paul Tarjan (ptarjan(a)stanford.edu) as part of the Google Summer of Code. - Reverse DNS resolution is now done in parallel rather than one at a time. All scans of large networks (particularly list, ping and just-a-few-ports scans) should benefit substantially from this change. If you encounter any problems, please let us know. The new --system_dns option was added so you can use the (slow) system resolver if you prefer that for some reason. You can specify a comma separated list of DNS server IP addresses for Nmap to use with the new --dns_servers option. Otherwise, Nmap looks in /etc/resolve.conf (UNIX) or the system registry (Windows) to obtain the nameservers already configured for your system. This excellent patch was written by Doug Hoyte (doug(a)hcsw.org). - Added the --badsum option, which causes Nmap to use invalid TCP or UDP checksums for packets sent to target hosts. Since virtually all host IP stacks properly drop these packets, any responses received are likely coming from a firewall or IDS that didn't bother to verify the checksum. For more details on this technique, see http://www.phrack.org/phrack/60/p60-0x0c.txt . The author of that paper, Ed3f (ed3f(a)antifork.org), is also the author of this patch (which I changed it a bit). - The 26 Nmap commands that previously included an underscore (--max_rtt_timeout, --send_eth, --host_timeout, etc.) have been renamed to use a hyphen in the preferred format (i.e. --max-rtt-timeout). Underscores are still supported for backward compatibility. - More excellent NmapFE patches from Priit Laes (amd(a)store20.com) were applied to remove all deprecated GTK API calls. This also eliminates the annoying Gtk-Critical and Gtk-WARNING runtime messages. - Changed the way the __attribute__ compiler extension is detected so that it works with the latest Fedora Core 4 updates (and perhaps other systems). Thanks to Duilio Protti (dprotti(a)fceia.unr.edu.ar) for writing the patch. The compilation error message this fixes was usually something like: "nmap.o(.rodata+0x17c): undefined reference to `__gthrw_pthread_cancel(unsigned long)" - Added some exception handling code to mswin32/winfix.cc to prevent Nmap from crashing mysteriously when you have WinPcap 3.0 or earlier (instead of the required 3.1). It now prints an error message instead asking you to upgrade, then reduces functionality to connect()-only mode. I couldn't get it working with the C++ standard try/catch() blocks, but as soon as I used the nonstandard MS conventions (__try/__except(), everything worked fine. Shrug. - Stripped the firewall API out of the libdnet included with Nmap because Nmap doesn't use it anyway. This saves space and reduces the likelihood of compilation errors and warnings. - Modified the previously useless --noninteractive option so that it deactivates runtime interaction. 3.96BETA1: ========== - Added --max_retries option for capping the maximum number of retransmissions the port scan engine will do. The value may be as low as 0 (no retransmits). A low value can increase speed, though at the risk of losing accuracy. The -T4 option now allows up to 6 retries, and -T5 allows 2. Thanks to Martin Macok (martin.macok(a)underground.cz) for writing the initial patch, which I changed quite a bit. I also updated the docs to reflect this neat new option. - Many of the Nmap low-level timing options take a value in milliseconds. You can now append an 's', 'm', or 'h' to the value to give it in seconds, minutes, or hours instead. So you can specify a 45 minute host timeout with --host_timeout 45m rather than specifying --host_timeout 2700000 and hoping you did the math right and have the correct number of zeros. This also now works for the --min_rtt_timeout, --max_rtt_timeout, --initial_rtt_timeout, --scan_delay, and --max_scan_delay options. - Improved the NmapFE port to GTK2 so it better-conforms to the new API and you don't get as many annoying messages in your terminal window. GTK2 is prettier and more functional too. Thanks to Priit Laes (amd(a)store20.com) for writing these excellent patches. - Fixed a problem which led to the error message "Failed to determine dst MAC address for target" when you try to run Nmap using a dialup/PPP adapter on Windows rather than a real ethernet card. Due to Microsoft breaking raw sockets, Nmap no longer supports dialup adapters, but it should now give you a clearer error message than the "dst MAC address" nonsense. - Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is now supported thanks to a patch to libdnet's configure.in by Petr Salinger (Petr.Salinger(a)t-systems.cz). - Tried to update to the latest autoconf only to find that there hasn't been a new version in more than two years :(. I was able to find new config.sub and config.guess files at http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/config/config/ , so I updated to those. - Fixed a problem with the -e option when run on Windows (or UNIX with --send_eth) when run on an ethernet network against an external (routed) host. You would get the message "NmapArpCache() can only take IPv4 addresses. Sorry". Thanks to KX (kxmail(a)gmail.com) for helping to track down the problem. - Made some changes to allow source port zero scans (-g0). Nmap used to refuse to do this, but now it just gives a warning that it may not work on all systems. It seems to work fine on my Linux box. Thanks to Bill Dale (bill_dale(a)bellsouth.net) for suggesting this feature. - Made a change to libdnet so that Windows interfaces are listed as down if they are disconnected, unplugged, or otherwise unavailable. - Ceased including foreign translations in the Nmap tarball as they take up too much space. HTML versions can be found at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/docs.html , while XML and NROFF versions are available from http://www.insecure.org/nmap/data/man-xlate/ . - Changed INSTALL and README-WIN32 files to mostly just reference the new Nmap Install Guide at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/install/ . - Included docs/nmap-man.xml in the tarball distribution, which is the DocBook XML source for the Nmap man page. Patches to Nmap that are user-visible should include patches to the man page XML source rather than to the generated Nroff. - Fixed Nmap so it doesn't crash when you ask it to resume a previous scan, but pass in a bogus file rather than actual Nmap output. Thanks to Piotr Sobolewski (piotr_sobolewski(a)o2.pl) for the fix.
