Hi Everyone, You might have thought there would be a break in Nmap development due to the big 4.20 release on Friday and the upcoming holidays. No way! I'm happy to announce Nmap 4.21ALPHA1. This includes the Nmap Scripting Engine that Diman and I have been working on for more than six months now. I'm quite excited about the capabilities this enables. There aren't many scripts yet (22 at the moment), but we're working on that. And contributions are welcome (that is how we got many of the scripts we do have so far). Don't forget to read the NSE docs, which are available at http://insecure.org/nmap/nse/ Here is an example of usage (including the demo scripts for more output): flog~#nmap -sV --script demo,safe,intrusive -T4 scanme.nmap.org Starting Nmap 4.21ALPHA1 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2006-12-10 18:14 PST Interesting ports on scanme.nmap.org (205.217.153.62): Not shown: 1692 filtered ports PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 4.3 (protocol 2.0) |_ Stealth SSH version: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3 53/tcp open domain 70/tcp closed gopher 80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.2.2 ((Fedora)) |_ HTML title: Authentication required! 113/tcp closed auth Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://insecure.org/nmap/submit/ . Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 100.030 seconds While it seems to generally be working well, don't consider the current behavior a "done deal" where we're only looking to fix bugs. We're hoping to get your input on things like what categories we should use, what sort of standard NSE library functions are needed, what API changes would make script writing easier or more powerful, etc. You can find the goods at: http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.21ALPHA1.tar.bz2 http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.21ALPHA1-setup.exe http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.21ALPHA1-win32.zip http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.21ALPHA1-1.src.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.21ALPHA1-1.i386.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-4.21ALPHA1-1.i386.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.21ALPHA1-1.x86_64.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-4.21ALPHA1-1.x86_64.rpm http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-4.21ALPHA1.tgz One impressive aspect is that this whole new subsystem, including the LUA interpreter and 22 scripts adds less than 150K to the bzipped tarball size: -rw-r--r-- 1 fyodor fyodor 2156077 Dec 7 19:37 nmap-4.20.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 fyodor fyodor 2303455 Dec 10 17:51 nmap-4.21ALPHA1.tar.bz2 In other news, the 4.20 release went quite well! No major problems have been found, and the OS detection submissions are flooding in. So I'll probably do another OS fingerprint submission integration marathon in the next week. Please report any problems you find to nmap-dev. I've tested this on Windows and Linux, but not extensively. It is called "ALPHA1" for a reason :).
