-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Nmap 2.3BETA6 is now available at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ Here are the most important changes: ** Added sophisticated timing controls to give the user much more control over Nmap's speed. This allows you to make Nmap much more aggressive to scan hosts faster, or you can make Nmap more "polite" -- slower but less likely to wreak havoc on your Network. You can even enforce large delays between sending packets to sneak under IDS thresholds and prevent detection. See the new "Timing Options" section of the Nmap man page for more information on using this. ** Applied Lamont Granquist's <lamontg () u washington edu> Window scan patch (I changed the name from ACK scan to Window scan since I may add another scan that uses ACK packets and I don't want them to be confused). -sW activates this scan type. It is mostly effective against BSD, AIX, Digital UNIX, and various older HP/UX, SunOS, and VAX. (See nmap-hackers mailing list archives for an extensive list). ** Added various long options people expect to see like --version , --help , --usage , etc. Some of the new timing options are also long. I had to add getopt_long C files since most non-Linux boxes don't support getopt_long in libc. ** Human readable (-o) output changed to include the time/date of the scan. Suggested by van Hauser. Let me know if you guys have any problems.
