I'm back from vacation and I finally incorporated most of the stuff people have been sending me into nmap 2.02 which is available in the usual location ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ). The biggest change is all the new fingerprints that have been adding. Thanks to all of these people for sending a ton of useful prints: Nickolai Zeldovich <kolya () zepa net> (lots), Clive ROBERTS <clrobert () bru-hub dhl com>, Erik Parker <netmask () 303 org> (sent in a ton of them), Gustavo Molina <gustavo () molina com br>, Filipe Jorge Marques de Almeida <almeida () rnl ist utl pt>, alligator 427 <alligator_427 () hotmail com>, Thomas Walter <tw () mail iTreff de>, Sten Kalenda <sten () rf roccadefinance nl>, Chris Tobkin <tobkin () jaws umn edu> (lots), Artem Belevich <ABelevic () ctron com> (lots),Jason J.

Please send me mail if the fingerprints I added don't match after all. Also, it is easier for me if you can send IP addresses so that I can test the new fingerprints immediately. If they are behind a firewall or you can't send them for paranoia reasons, that is OK too. It is probably better to send fingerprints directly to me rather than the list to keep everyone from getting flooded with them. When I collect a bunch I'll send a nmap-os-fingerprints update. Here are some other changes in 2.02: * Token ring problems have been fixed thanks to a patch sent in by Mike Phillips <PHILLIM () Amtrak com> . * Added warning message when -g is used with -sT (which is the default) so that people know that the source port can not be manipulated with -sT. Thanks to Geeman <geeman () garden net> for finding this. * Fixed segfault caused by bogus arguments to -p (found by Adam Shostack) * NetBSD byte order issue should be fixed. * Oren Tirosh <oren () hishome net>, Meskanen <mesrik () cc jyu fi>, and Chris Wilson <Chris.Wilson () fitz cam ac uk> send .spec files for use in creating RPM packages. I merged these together into one .spec file which I am still testing. The next version of nmap will include RPMs (along with .tgz). * Lamont's brilliant AOLer has been added to the AOL response section. Also, Theo De Raadt wrote to let me know that -sT doesn't seem to work when run from OpenBSD 2.4 . Do others have this problem? It works fine on my OpenBSD 2.3 box. If you don't care about the 2.02 improvements and only want the new fingerprint file, it is available at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap-os-fingerprints . If you did 'make install', stick it in /usr/local/lib . If you run nmap from the build directory, stick it there. Like usual, let me know if you have problems with 2.02. I haven't tested it on as many systems as usual since it is almost 2:00 and I really should go to work before everyone else leaves :).

Try nmap: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ In a free and open marketplace, it would be surprising to have such an obviously flawed standard generate much enthusiasm outside of the criminal community. --Mitch Stone on Microsoft ActiveX
