Hello everyone,
I am happy to report that the Nmap 3.50 release has been quite
successful. I didn't send the full announcement here since I had
already sent an early release notice to you guys. But one part of the
big announcements I do want to sent here is the acknowledgments
section. Nmap 3.50 would not have been possible without all of the
little (and big) contributions people have made. I would
particularly like th thank the following nmap-hackers for improvements
since 3.00:

And of course I would also like to thank the thousands of people who
have submitted OS and service/version fingerprints, as well as
everyone who has found and reported bugs or suggested features.
By the way, if you are having trouble with 3.50, I have posted an
informal 3.50-TEST2 release (source only). See
http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2004/Jan-Mar/0127.html for the URLs.
The huge spike in bandwidth last month made me think the 3.50 release
proved extraordinarily popular! Then I remembered posting that HaXXXor
thing :). The traffic on www.insecure.org (not including
download.insecure or images.insecure) went from 2.5 gigabytes on
February 17th to 239 gigabytes on the 18th. It is now well into the
terabytes and counting. Sheesh! Maybe I'm not quite alone in
harboring a port scanning fetish :). One nmap-hacker contributed this (I
don't know if she wants credit, so I'll leave it anonymous):
<voice="low, breathy"> "Hi there. I'm a lonesome little system
with a fast processor and and a high-bandwidth connection, running unsecured
Red Hat just naked, right out of the box... not even a firewall
between you and me, big boy... I'm just lying here with my ports wide
open waiting for *you*, baby, oooh... I want you to probe me... use
me... spew packets *all over* me..." </voice>
Now I've ensured that this mail (like the last one) will get rejected
by hundreds of corporate mail filters [shrug]. In totally different
news, I am working on a section about Nmap on PDAs for my upcoming
book. In the process, I found this very valuable site:
IronGeek's Zaurus Security Tools Page: http://www.irongeek.com/all.php
On this page, Adrian explains how to install and use many security
tools (including special directions for Nmap 3.50) on the Sharp Zaurus
handheld. This includes Wellenreiter, Kismet, Zethereal, Nemesis and
more. Good stuff!
Cheers,
Fyodor
