Hello everyone,
I am happy to announce that Nmap 2.54BETA24 is now available. This
version fixes a few bugs and solves many portability issues that
people have reported. I'm hoping to release another version within a
week that contains new OS fingerprints. But don't let that prevent
you from upgrading now if you have time.
Is anyone interested in linking to the Nmap page from your web sites
(hint hint!)? You'll be happy to note that Kyra
(kyralea_at_tranquility.net) has submitted a slew of cool banners at
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/index.html#propaganda . My favorite is
"Psst... Your Ports are Showing!" :). You are all welcome and
encouraged to show your support for the project by linking to the Nmap
page.
Here are the CHANGELOG entries:
-- Fixed compilation problems on MacOS X publis release. Thanks to
Nicolas Dawson (nizcolas_at_myrealbox.com) for securing an account for
me.
-- On the suggestion of the ever-helpful LaMont Jones (lamont_at_hp.com),
I obtained the newest config.guess/config.sub from
http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/config and made
libpcap/nbase use symlinks rather than copeis of the file
-- Applied patch from LaMont Jones (lamont_at_hp.com) which makes Nmap
compatable with gcc 3.0 (apparently printf() is a macro in that
version)
-- Applied patch from Colin Phipps (cph_at_netcraft.com) which fixes a
problem that kept UDP RPC scanning from working unless you were
also doing a TCP scan.
-- Applied a patch from Chris Eagle (cseagle_at_redshift.com) which fixes
Windows compilation (I broke it with a recent change).
-- Updated Lithuanian translation of man page based on a newer version
sent by Aurimas Mikalauskas (inner_at_crazy.lt)
-- Killed carriage returns in nmap.c and nmapfe.c, which caused
problems for some (SGI) compilers. Problem noted by Artur
Niederstebruch (artur_at_sgi.com)
-- Updated to latest version of rpc program number list, maintained by
Eilon Gishri (eilon_at_aristo.tau.ac.il)
-- Fixed a quoting bug in the Nmap man page found by
Rasmus Andersson <rasmus_at_pole-position.org>
-- Applied RPM spec file changes from "Benjamin Reed"
(ranger_at_befunk.com) which allows you to avoid building the frontend
by adding "--define frontend 0" to the build command (eg --rebuild,
--ba, etc).
For those of you running Linux/x86 w/a recent version of rpm
(www.rpm.org), you can install/upgrade to the newest version of
nmap/nmapfe with these commands:
rpm -vhU (nmap url)
where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.54BETA24-1.i386.rpm
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA24-1.i386.rpm
source tarballs and source RPMs are always available at:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/#download
For the more paranoid (smart) members of the list, here are the md5
hashes:
a904b4fe2cedf6019ed3c03178d231d9 nmap-2.54BETA22-1.i386.rpm

034f1439e9c7e1ac6daac21143165e90 nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA22-1.i386.rpm
[ Yes, I should really GPG sign this email too ]
Please let me know if you find any problems.
Cheers,
Fyodor
