-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce that Nmap version 3.10ALPHA2 is now
available! This version has some cool stuff that I couldn't add
before due to stability issues. In particular, IPv6 is now supported
and the codebase has been migrated to C++. Due to all the changes,
there may be portability problems. But I have lightly tested it on
Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. If it does not compile/work for
you, please let me know (including details on the OS you are running).
A patch is even better :).
The IPv6 support is currently limited to the most important options
such as -sT. I may add raw packet scans (ICMP6 pinging, UDP, SYN,
etc) if there is demand. The protocol is actually pretty fun! Not
only do I feel like a king with my own /64 allocation
(18446744073709551616 addresses!), but it can be useful for bypassing
certain firewalls. Check out this host that has a bunch of filtered
IPv4 ports, but is wide open via IPv6. Pay special attention to port
111 (SunRPC).

Note that this may have changed, since I notified the Kame folks last
week. But I'm sure this is a common mistake.
Here are the CHANGELOG entries since 3.00 (ALPHA1 was a dev-only
release):
Nmap 3.10ALPHA2
o Fixed compilation and IPv6 support on FreeBSD (tested on
4.6-STABLE). Thanks to Niels Heinen (niels.heinen_at_ubizen.com) for
suggestions.
o Made some portability changes based on suggestions by Josef 'Jupp'
Schugt (jupp_at_gmx.de)
o Fixed compilation and IPv6 support on Solaris 9 (haven't tested
earlier versions).
Nmap 3.10ALPHA1
o IPv6 is now supported for TCP scan (-sT), connect()-style ping scan
(-sP), and list scan (-sL)! Just specify the -6 option and the IPv6
numbers or DNS names. Netmask notation is not currently supported
-- I'm not sure how useful it is for IPv6, where even petty end
users may be allocated trillions of addresses (/80). If you need
one of the scan types that hasn't been ported yet, give Sebastien
Peterson's patch a try at http://nmap6.sourceforge.net/ . If there
is demand, I may integrate more of that into Nmap.
o Major code restructing, which included conversion to C++ -- so
you'll need g++ or another C++ compiler. I accidently let a C++
requirement slip in a while back and found that almost everyone has
such a compiler. Windows (VC++) users: see the README-WIN32 for new
compilation instructions.
o Applied patch from Axel Nennker (Axel.Nennker_at_t-systems.com) which
adds a --without-nmapfe option to the configure script. This si
useful if your system doesn't have the proper libraries (eg GTK) or
if you think GUIs are for sissies :).
o Removed arbitrary max_parallelism (-M) limitations, as suggested by
William McVey ( wam_at_cisco.com ).
o Added DEC OSF to the platforms that require the BSDFIX() macro due
to taking ip length and offset fields in host rather than network
byte
order. Suggested by Dean Bennett (deanb_at_gbtn.net)
o Fixed an debug statement C ambiguity discovered by Kronos
(kronos_at_kronoz.cjb.net)
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 by executing these commands as root:
rpm -vhU (nmap url)
where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these:
http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-3.10ALPHA2-1.i386.rpm
http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-3.10ALPHA2-1.i386.rpm
For the rest of you, source tarballs and source RPMs are always
available at: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_download.html
For the more paranoid (smart) members of the list, here are the md5
hashes:
b7e2a33d22afe8912ab33b8c58a2fb19 nmap-3.10ALPHA2-1.i386.rpm
e27797651052ff751e89d938bd516605 nmap-3.10ALPHA2-1.src.rpm
520c808838251029a0cc53811b8c4920 nmap-3.10ALPHA2.tgz

These release notes should be signed with my PGP key, which is available at
