Nmap 4.00 Released
NoExec writes "Hot off the nmap-hackers list comes news that the Nmap Security Scanner version 4.00 has been released. Dozens of major changes since 3.50 (2 years ago) are listed in the announcement. These include a rewritten (for speed and memory efficiency) port scanning engine, ARP scanning, a brand new
man page and
install guide, 'l33t ASCII art, runtime interaction, massive version detection improvements, MAC address spoofing, increased Windows performance, 500 new OS detection fingerprints, completion time estimates, and much more."
I wonder if Trinity has had a chance to try it out. ;)
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
You, boy, should be grateful for your backspace key. When I was a lad there were no such things as keys; we used our very own fingers to close the 12000V contacts. Our programs were entered in binary, and we were lucky when we did it all right the first time, for so Dad wouldn't bang our heads with a baseball bat. Furthermore, in order to get 12000V (lower tensions didn't pass through our fingers) on the patch-panel contacts, we had to bring in our own 300lb transformers. On our backs. Uphill both ways.
Stupidity is an equal opportunity striker.

I just noticed that Nmap 4.0 has a new OS detection fingerprint. It's for the Sony AIBO.
I don't know how we ever got by without that one! Although I suppose you'd want to know if you had one on your corporate LAN. Sony probably rootkits the little fuckers before they leave the factory.
