It was v 6.01 that was just released: Hi folks! I'm happy to report that the Nmap 6.00 release (http://nmap.org/6 ) last month was a huge success, with hundreds of thousands of downloads and a bunch of positive articles and reviews. But any release this big is going to uncover a few issues, so we've released Nmap 6.01 to address them. This should also appease the more conservative users who always wait for the first patch update before installing a major software release. Meanwhile, the more adventurous users should skip 6.01 entirely and compile straight from our SVN repository (http://nmap.org/book/install.html#inst-svn)! Nmap 6.01 source code and binary packages for Linux, Windows, and Mac are available at: http://nmap.org/download.html Quoting "Mikhail A. Utin" <mutin () commonwealthcare org>:
Hello,Yes, you need tp clarify "active". By my experience, Nmap finds only active hosts. Whatever it lists are up, and networked :). In general, I see that you would be better using GUI Nmap rather than CLI, at least until you do not automate its utilization/scripting it in something. GUI gives you better understanding of options right on the screen. Plus, I would suggest taking a look on insecure.org and get v. 5.20 just released. Many thank to Fyodor for his devotion to the info security community needs.Regards Mikhail -----Original Message-----From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Yaniv ShakedSent: Friday, June 22, 2012 5:18 PM To: flanny16 () gmail com Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: NMAP Alright, so what do you mean "active hosts"?CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
