Log Message:
Updated to version 3.80
Changes:
- Nmap now ships with and installs (in the same directory as other
data files such as nmap-os-fingerprints) an XSL stylesheet for
rendering the XML output as HTML. This stylesheet was written by
Benjamin Erb ( see http://www.benjamin-erb.de/nmap/ for examples).
It supports tables, version detection, color-coded port states, and
more. The XML output has been augmented to include an
xml-stylesheet directive pointing to nmap.xsl on the local
filesystem. You can point to a different XSL file by providing the
filename or URL to the new --stylesheet argument. Omit the
xml-stylesheet directive entirely by specifying --no-stylesheet.
The XML to HTML conversion can be done with an XSLT processor such
as Saxon, Sablot, or Xalan, but modern browsers can do this on the
fly -- simply load the XML output file in IE or Firefox. Some
features don't currently work with Firefox's on-the-fly rendering.
Perhaps some Mozilla wizard can fix that in either the XSL or the
browser itself. I hate having things work better in IE :). It is
often more convenient to have the stylesheet loaded from a URL
rather than the local filesystem, allowing the XML to be rendered on
any machine regardless of whether/where the XSL is installed. For
privacy reasons (avoid loading of an external URL when you view
results), Nmap uses the local filesystem by default. If you would
like the latest version of the stylesheet load from the web when
rendering, specify
--stylesheet http://www.insecure.org/nmap/data/nmap.xsl .
- Fixed fragmentation option (-f). One -f now sets sends fragments
with just 8 bytes after the IP header, while -ff sends 16 bytes to
reduce the number of fragments needed. You can specify your own
fragmentation offset (must be a multiple of 8) with the new --mtu
flag. Don't also specify -f if you use --mtu. Remember that some
systems (such as Linux with connection tracking) will defragment in
the kernel anyway -- so test first while sniffing with ethereal.
These changes are from a patch by Martin Macok
(martin.macok(a)underground.cz).
- Nmap now prints the number (and total bytes) of raw IP packets sent
and received when it completes, if verbose mode (-v) is enabled. The
report looks like:
Nmap finished: 256 IP addresses (3 hosts up) scanned in 30.632 seconds
Raw packets sent: 7727 (303KB) | Rcvd: 6944 (304KB)
- Fixed (I hope) an error which would cause the Windows version of
Nmap to abort under some circumstances with the error message
"Unexpected error in NSE_TYPE_READ callback. Error code: 10053
(Unknown error)". Problem reported by "Tony Golding"
(biz(a)tonygolding.com).
- Added new "closed|filtered" state. This is used for Idlescan, since
that scan method can't distinguish between those two states. Nmap
previously just used "closed", but this is more accurate.
- Null, FIN, Maimon, and Xmas scans now mark ports as "open|filtered"
instead of "open" when they fail to receive any response from the
target port. After all, it could just as easily be filtered as open.
This is the same change that was made to UDP scan in 3.70. Also as
with UDP scan, adding version detection (-sV) will change the state
from open|filtered to open if it confirms that they really are open.
- Fixed a bug in ACK scan that could cause Nmap to crash with the
message "Unexpected port state: 6" in some cases. Thanks to Glyn
Geoghegan (glyng(a)corsaire.com) for reporting the problem.
- Change IP protocol scan (-sO) so that a response from the target
host in any protocol at all will prove that protocol is open. As
before, no response means "open|filtered", an ICMP protocol
unreachable means "closed", and most other ICMP error messages mean
"filtered".
- Patched a Winpcap issue that prevented read timeouts from being
honored on Solaris (thus slowing down Nmap substantially). The
problem report and patch were sent in by Ben Harris
(bjh21(a)cam.ac.uk).
- Changed IP protocol scan (-sO) so that it sends valid ICMP, TCP, and
UDP headers when scanning protocols 1, 6, and 17, respectively. An
empty IP header is still sent for all other protocols. This should
prevent the error messages such as "sendto in send_ip_packet:
sendto(3, packet, 20, 0, 192.31.33.7, 16) => Operation not
permitted" that Linux (and perhaps other systems) would give when
they try to interpret the raw packet. This also makes it more
likely that these protocols will elicit a response, proving that the
protocol is "open".
- The windows build now uses header and static library files from
Winpcap 3.1Beta4. It also now prints out the DLL version you are
using when run with -d. I would recommend upgrading to 3.1Beta4 if
you have an older Winpcap installed.
- Added an NTP probe and matches to the version detection database
(nmap-service-probes) thanks to a submission from Martin
Macok (martin.macok@underground.cz).
- Applied several Nmap service detection database updates sent in by
Martin Macok (martin.macok(a)underground.cz).
