Hmm, when will an IPv6 capable version of nmap be available ?

This is one of those things I would gladly accept a patch for :).  As you
are well aware, extending Nmap to IPv6 would be decidedly non-trivial due
to the heavy use of raw packet structure manipulations.  It is on my
"TODO" list, but there are other cool enhancements above it.

Frankly, user demand has been minimal.  In fact, Darren, I think you are
the first to have ever requested it :).

Cheers,

PS:  I'm still at CanSecWest in Canada and haven't had a chance to go
through and moderate the whole nmap-hackers queue.  So people should not
panic if your message hasn't made it through yet.
