Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce the release of Nmap 2.54BETA5. Here are some of
the most important changes:
-- Revamped the 'compatability libraries' subsystem. Moved all of
that to a new library called 'libnbase' and changed Nmap and NmapFE
to use that. I included a better version of *snprintf and some
other compatability files. Obviously I cannot test these changes
on every whacked OS that needs this compatability cruft, so please
let me know if you run into compilation problems.
-- Fixed a problem found by Martyn Tovey <martyn_at_netcraft.com> when
using Nmap on platforms that dislike division by zero.
-- Removed 128.210.*.* addresses from Nmap man page due to complaints
from Purdue University security staff :).
-- Fixed FreeBSD (some versions) compilation problem found by Martyn
Tovey <martyn_at_netcraft.com>
For those of you running Linux/x86 w/a recent version of rpm
(www.rpm.org), you can install/upgrade to the newest version of
nmap/nmapfe with these commands:
rpm -vhU (nmap url)
where (nmap url) is one (or both) of these:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.54BETA5-1.i386.rpm
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-frontend-0.2.54BETA5-1.i386.rpm
source tarballs and source RPMs are available at:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/#download
Let me know if you find any problems.
Cheers,
Fyodor
