-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Dearest $Nmap_User, May love and peace fill your heart and home during this holiday season and throughout the new year. It was very difficult to come up with an appropriate gift to express our warm regards for you, but we finally decided on a shiny new version of Nmap. I hope you like it! Nmap 3.10ALPHA9 is now available. This version contains new host enumeration code to make your Christmas scanning less tedious! First of all, I applied a patch (with modest changes) by Gabriel L. Somlo (somlo () acns colostate edu), which allows multiple TCP probe ports rather than just one. Then I made some changes so that ping types are no longer exclusive -- you can now do combinations such as "-PS22,53,80 -PT113 -PN -PE" in order to increase your odds of passing through strict filters. The "ping scan" algorithms have also been restructured to be more robust for both the default case and when using these special features. Please give this version a try and let me know if you run into any problems. Here are the full new CHANGELOG entries: o Reworked the "ping scan" algorithm (used for any scan except -P0 or -sL) to be more robust in the face of low-bandwidth and congested connections. This also improves reliability in the multi-port and multi-type ping cases described below. o "Ping types" are no longer exclusive -- you can now do combinations such as "-PS22,53,80 -PT113 -PN -PE" in order to increase your odds of passing through strict filters. The "PB" flag is now deprecated since you can achieve the same result via "PE" and "PT" options. o Applied patch (with modest changes) by Gabriel L. Somlo (somlo () acns colostate edu), which allows multiple TCP probe ports in raw (root) mode. See the previous item for an example. o Fixed a libpcap compilation issue noted by Josef 'Jupp' Schugt (deusxmachina () webmail co za) which relates to the definition (or lack thereof) of ARPHRD_HDLC (used for Cisco HDLC frames). o Tweaked the version number (-V) output slightly. 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 by executing these commands as root: rpm -vhU (nmap url) where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these: http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-3.10ALPHA9-1.i386.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-3.10ALPHA9-1.i386.rpm For the rest of you, 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: 698f9a10e3e78ff7342abe8171f3fc99 nmap-3.10ALPHA9-1.i386.rpm dca955948603df26f961686a48f912dc nmap-3.10ALPHA9-1.src.rpm c36f6246e39a636a572f34bd386237b2 nmap-3.10ALPHA9.tgz c45fe3a44a3029a01cc5283b85b8b257 nmap-frontend-3.10ALPHA9-1.i386.rpm These release notes should be signed with my PGP key, which is available at http://www.insecure.org/fyodor_gpgkey.txt .
