Nmap Announce: Nmap 6.01 Released Nmap.org Npcap.com Seclists.org Sectools.org Insecure.org Nmap Announce mailing list archives By Date By Thread Nmap 6.01 Released From: Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org> Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:26:21 -0700 Hi folks! I'm happy to report that the Nmap 6.00 release (http://nmap.org/6 ) last month was a huge success, with hundreds of thousands of downloads and a bunch of positive articles and reviews. But any release this big is going to uncover a few issues, so we've released Nmap 6.01 to address them. This should also appease the more conservative users who always wait for the first patch update before installing a major software release. Meanwhile, the more adventurous users should skip 6.01 entirely and compile straight from our SVN repository (http://nmap.org/book/install.html#inst-svn)! Nmap 6.01 source code and binary packages for Linux, Windows, and Mac are available at: http://nmap.org/download.html If you find any bugs, please let us know on nmap-dev as described at http://nmap.org/book/man-bugs.html. We're not planning another near-term stable release, but you can inspire one by finding a big enough bug :). Here are the changes in 6.01: o [Zenmap] Fixed a hang that would occur on Mac OS X 10.7. A symptom of the hang was this message in the system console: "Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/share/zenmap/pixmaps/radialnet/padlock.png'". [David Fifield] o [Zenmap] Fixed a crash that happened when activating the host filter. File "zenmapCore\SearchResult.pyo", line 155, in match_os KeyError: 'osmatches' [jah] o Fixed an error that occurred when scanning certain addresses like 192.168.0.0 on Windows XP: get_srcaddr: can't connect socket: The requested address is not valid in its context. nexthost: failed to determine route to 10.80.0.0 [David Fifield] o Fixed a bug that caused Nmap to fail to find any network interface when at least one of them is in the monitor mode. The fix was to define the ARP_HRD_IEEE80211_RADIOTAP 802.11 radiotap header identifier in the libdnet-stripped code. Network interfaces that are in this mode are used by radiotap for 802.11 frame injection and reception. The bug was reported by Tom Eichstaedt and Henri Doreau. http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q2/449 http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q2/478 [Djalal Harouni, Henri Doreau] o Fixed the greppable output of hosts that time-out (when --host-timeout was used and the host timed-out after something was received from that host). This issue was reported by Matthew Morgan. [jah] o [Zenmap] Updated the version of Python used to build the Windows release from 2.7.1 to 2.7.3 to remove a false-positive security alarm flagged by tools such as Secunia PSI. There was a minor vulnerability in certain Python27.dll web functionality (which Nmap doesn't use anyway) and Secunia was flagging all software which includes that version of Python27.dll. This update should prevent the false alarm. In fun weekend news, I'm happy to report that Nmap may be in another upcoming movie! When I secure a screenshot, I'll post it to the Nmap Facebook, Twitter, and Movie pages: http://facebook.com/nmap http://twitter.com/nmap http://nmap.org/movies.html Enjoy the new release! -Fyodor _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-hackers mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-hackers Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-hackers/ By Date By Thread Current thread: Nmap 6.01 Released Fyodor (Jun 22) Nmap Security Scanner Ref Guide Install Guide Docs Download Nmap OEM Npcap packet capture User's Guide API docs Download Npcap OEM Security Lists Nmap Announce Nmap Dev Full Disclosure Open Source Security BreachExchange Security Tools Vuln scanners Password audit Web scanners Wireless Exploitation About About/Contact Privacy Advertising Nmap Public Source License
