Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce that Nmap 2.3BETA14 is now available.  This
release has a few cool changes.  In particular, Peter Kosinar
<goober () gjh sk> performed some cleanup of the output routines and as a
bonus he added skript kiddie output mode!  Try it out by adding 
"-oS - " to your nmap command line:

amy# nmap -sS -oS - -O -v vectra

This ought to be extremely useful to all the |<-Rad 'l33t people out there
who previously looked down on Nmap due to its consistent capitalization
and spelling.  Maybe I'll make this the default mode <G>.  By the way,
that trick of using '-' for stdout works on the other modes as well
(machine output, etc).

Here are some other changes:

-- Ensured that Nmap always gives up on ident scan after the first
   port attempt finds it to be closed (problem noticed by Matt
   <matt () use net>)

-- Changed strsep's in nmapfe to more portable strtok's (should
   especially help Nmapfe compiles on Solaris)

-- Changed permutation algorithm to make port order and host order
   shuffling more random.

-- Various minor changes and internal code cleanup.

-- Fixed integer overflow that was limiting the max --host_timeout value 
   to about 2,000,000 milliseconds (~1/2 hour).  The limit is now
   about 4,000,000,000 milliseconds (~125 years).  I really hope you don't 
   need more than that :).


For those of you running Linux/x86 w/rpm (www.rpm.org), you can
install/upgrade to the newest version of nmap/nmapfe with these
commands:

rpm -vhU ftp://ftp.server51.freshmeat.net/pub/nmap/nmap-2.3BETA14-1.i386.rpm
rpm -vhU ftp://ftp.server51.freshmeat.net/pub/nmap/nmap-frontend-2.3BETA14-1.i386.rpm

source tarballs and source RPMs are available at:
http://www.insecure.org/nmap or ftp://ftp.server51.freshmeat.net/pub/nmap

Cheers,
Fyodor
