Re: bug report: "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable failed to install" jah (May 22)
Thanks for reporting this. It's quite likely that the MS Redistributable installed correctly.
The problem is with how the Nmap installer performs its check to see if the redistributable is installed - it does this
to determine whether the redist needs to be installed and in such cases it then also checks that the redist was indeed
installed.

The check is to test for the presence of a particular named string value under the registry key:...

Re: Nmap 6 fails to initialize on Windows xp sp3 David Fifield (May 22)
Can you post your complete Nmap output? We do use IPv6 source addresses
when sending ND probes; it may be a bug that your source address is
being calculated as ::.

What is the output of this command?

nmap --route-dst ff02::1:ff19:37fe

What is the output of

nmap --iflist

Do the packets appear when you use the --packet-trace option? If not,
then they are being sent by the operating system, not by Nmap itself.

Re: NSE: Credential disclosure in modems Huawei HG510, HG520x, HG530 and possibly others David Fifield (May 22)
I'm wondering if we should use Lua string escapes instead of literal
UTF-8 bytes, to protect against someone using an editor in the future
that changes the encoding. So in place of
'Modelo de módem:',
use
'Modelo de m\195\179dem:'.

Re: Small Bug in SVN revision 28643: Missing newline in gnmap output (diff included) jah (May 22)
Hi Matthew,

I think you're correct; here's another example where the timed-out host is the last host listed and the final summary
line erroneously appears on the same line:

# Nmap 6.01 scan initiated Tue May 22 21:15:03 2012 as: nmap -sS -p80 -d -n -oG timeout-nmap.txt --host-timeout 100ms

Re: Nmap 6 Zenmap problem David Fifield (May 22)
I'm sorry, our binaries don't support PowerPC Macs anymore. It was a
problem in the documentation that claimed they did.

You can try one of the third-party packagers once they have it packaged,

http://nmap.org/book/inst-macosx.html#inst-macosx-third-party

or install GTK+ and PyGTK packages and then run from source code.

Re: Italian translation David Fifield (May 22)
Please go ahead and begin your translation. Here are instructions for
making a new translation:

http://nmap.org/book/zenmap-lang.html#zenmap-lang-new

Please make sure you start with the newest zenmap.pot from
https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/zenmap/share/zenmap/locale/zenmap.pot.
There is a Makefile in the zenmap/share/zenmap/locale directory that can
make some steps easier, for example "make update-mo".

Re: scanning a /8 Michael Right (May 22)
Hi Brandon,

Thanks for the detailed reply!

bug report: "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable failed to install" SMiller (May 22)
Installed nmap 6.0 from nmap-6.00-setup on Lenovo T420S running Windows 7
SP1 64-bit. Running from administrator-equivalent profile. Received the
subject error message part way through the install, although the remainder
of the process appeared to complete successfully. Zenmap opens and scan
process runs. Just FYI - no urgency.

Re: Zenmap Japanese translation David Fifield (May 22)
Thank you for this, it's great. I have committed your translation.

The zenmap.pot file you started with seems to have been an old version,
so there are some new strings (particularly in the profile editor) that
are no translated. I have attached an updated version in case you would
like to translate the additional strings. I left in the "fuzzy"
translations from strings that have only changed slightly.

Italian translation Francesco Tombolini (May 22)
Hallo, I would like to translate zenmap in my language.
If it's ok, I'll start to localize it in italian.
Regards.

Re: [NSE] Improving performance for ssl-enum-ciphers David Fifield (May 22)
Let's apply it then.

I've used this patch to scan a Solaris server running Apache and the scan went from 40s to 20s with the same results.

Thanks!

Re: zenmap-crash jah (May 22)
Thanks for reporting this error; it's been fixed in the subversion repository with revision 28650.
If you'd like to get the fixed version of Nmap then have a look at the Nmap download page [1], under "Source Code
Distribution (in case you wish to compile Nmap yourself)".

Thanks again,

jah
