Hello everyone, I am happy to announce that Nmap 2.54BETA28 is now available. The biggest change is that I hope the "Unknown datalink type" Libpcap error has been fixed. If you get taht error with BETA28, see below. A few other things have been fixed/updated as well. I just realized that it has been at least a year since the last "stable" version (2.53) was released. Yikes! We've been doing betas for a long time. So I am instituting a "feature feeze" in order to promote stability. So please test this out and let me know if you find any bugs! Once a stable release is made, we can go back to adding cool new features :). I have also begin PGP signing these release so that (if you check the md5 hashes) you can be sure you have the actual release and not some trojan. See below for the key. Here are the CHANGELOG entries for this release: -- I hope that I have fixed the Libpcap "Unknown datalink type" problem that many people reported. If you still receive this error, please send me the following info: 1) Full output of Nmap including the command you typed 2) What OS/OS version you are using 3) What type of interface is the scan going through (PPP, ISDN, ethernet, PPPoE, etc) 4) Whether you compiled from source or used the RPM version -- Hopefully fixed Libpcap lex/yacc generated file problem that plagued a few folks. -- Various minor fixes/changes/updates 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 with these commands: rpm -vhU (nmap url) where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these: http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.54BETA28-1.i386.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA28-1.i386.rpm 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: 7f23fbe41a907ae489c49a9b66d1f3c2 nmap-2.54BETA28-1.i386.rpm 74041233ec426928c99c0e10eb79dd95 nmap-2.54BETA28-1.src.rpm b4c45f118254a6a0abb4955cc24b7a79 nmap-2.54BETA28.tgz 9b7dd786a9da1bdd4e02102e0d3f943c nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA28-1.i386.rpm These release notes should be signed with my PGP key, which is available at http://www.insecure.org/fyodor_gpgkey.txt .
