# Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
o [Ncat] Enable --ssl-ciphers to be used with Ncat in client mode, not only in
server (listen) mode. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#649] New service probe and match lines for the JMON and RSE services of
IBM Explorer for z/OS. [Soldier of Fortran]
o Removed a duplicate service probe for Memcached added in 2011 (the original
probe was added in 2008) and reported as duplicate in 2013 by Pavel Kankovsky.
o New service probe and match line for NoMachine NX Server remote desktop.
[Justin Cacak]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a recurring installation problem on OS X/macOS where Zenmap
was installed to /Applications/Applications/Zenmap.app instead of
/Applications/Zenmap.app.
o [Zenmap][GH#639] Zenmap will no longer crash when no suitable temporary
directory is found. Patches contributed by [Varunram Ganesh] and [Sai Sundhar]
o [Zenmap][GH#626] Zenmap now properly handles the -v0 (no output) option,
which was added in Nmap 7.10. Previously, this was treated the same as not
specifying -v at all. [lymanZerga11]
o [GH#630] Updated or removed some OpenSSL library calls that were deprecated
in OpenSSL 1.1. [eroen]
o [NSE] New script http-hsts-verify reports whether or not HTTP Strict
Transport Security is configured. [Ícaro Torres]
o [NSE] Script ssh-hostkey now recognizes and reports Ed25519 keys [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#627] Fixed script hang in several brute scripts due to the "threads"
script-arg not being converted to a number. Error message was
"nselib/brute.lua:1188: attempt to compare number with string" [Arne Beer]
Nmap 7.40 [2016-12-20]
o [Windows] Updated the bundled Npcap from 0.10r9 to 0.78r5, with an
improved installer experience, driver signing updates to work with
Windows 10 build 1607, and bugfixes for WiFi connectivity
problems. [Yang Luo, Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from April to
September (568 of them). Added 149 fingerprints, bringing the new total to
5,336. Additions include Linux 4.6, macOS 10.12 Sierra, NetBSD 7.0, and more.
Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q4/110 [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
April to September (779 of them). The signature count went up 3.1% to 11,095.
We now detect 1161 protocols, from airserv-ng, domaintime, and mep to
nutcracker, rhpp, and usher. Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q4/115
[Daniel Miller]
o Fix reverse DNS on Windows which was failing with the message "mass_dns:
warning: Unable to determine any DNS servers." This was because the interface
GUID comparison needed to be case-insensitive. [Robert Croteau]
o [NSE] Added 12 NSE scripts from 4 authors, bringing the total up to 552!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below:
+ cics-enum enumerates CICS transaction IDs, mapping to screens in TN3270
services. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ cics-user-enum brute-forces usernames for CICS users on TN3270 services.
[Soldier of Fortran]
+ fingerprint-strings will print the ASCII strings it finds in the service
fingerprints that Nmap shows for unidentified services. [Daniel Miller]
+ [GH#606] ip-geolocation-map-bing renders IP geolocation data as an image
via Bing Maps API. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ [GH#606] ip-geolocation-map-google renders IP geolocation data as an image
via Google Maps API. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ [GH#606] ip-geolocation-map-kml records IP geolocation data in a KML file
for import into other mapping software [Mak Kolybabi]
+ nje-pass-brute brute-forces the password to a NJE node, given a valid RHOST
and OHOST. Helpfully, nje-node-brute can now brute force both of those
values. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ [GH#557] ssl-cert-intaddr will search for private IP addresses in TLS
certificate fields and extensions. [Steve Benson]
+ tn3270-screen shows the login screen from mainframe TN3270 Telnet services,
including any hidden fields. The script is accompanied by the new tn3270
library. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ tso-enum enumerates usernames for TN3270 Telnet services. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ tso-brute brute-forces passwords for TN3270 Telnet services. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ vtam-enum brute-forces VTAM application IDs for TN3270 services.
[Soldier of Fortran]
o [NSE][GH#518] Brute scripts are faster and more accurate. New feedback and
adaptivity mechanisms in brute.lua help brute scripts use resources more
efficiently, dynamically changing number of threads based on protocol
messages like FTP 421 errors, network errors like timeouts, etc.
[Sergey Khegay]
o [GH#353] New option --defeat-icmp-ratelimit dramatically reduces UDP scan
times in exchange for labeling unresponsive (and possibly open) ports as
"closed|filtered". Ports which give a UDP protocol response to one of Nmap's
scanning payloads will be marked "open". [Sergey Khegay]
o [NSE][GH#533] Removed ssl-google-cert-catalog, since Google shut off that
service at some point. Reported by Brian Morin.
o [NSE][GH#606] New NSE library, geoip.lua, provides a common framework for
storing and retrieving IP geolocation results. [Mak Kolybabi]
o [Ncat] Restore the connection success message that Ncat prints with -v. This
was accidentally suppressed when not using -z.
o [GH#316] Added scan resume from Nmap's XML output. Now you can --resume a
canceled scan from all 3 major output formats: -oN, -oG, and -oX.
[Tudor Emil Coman]
o [Ndiff][GH#591] Fix a bug where hosts with the same IP but different
hostnames were shown as changing hostnames between scans. Made sort stable
with regard to hostnames. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#540] Add tls.servername script-arg for forcing a name to be used for
TLS Server Name Indication extension. The argument overrides the default use
of the host's targetname. [Bertrand Bonnefoy-Claudet]
o [GH#505] Updated Russian translation of Zenmap by Alexander Kozlov.
o [NSE][GH#588] Fix a crash in smb.lua when using smb-ls due to a
floating-point number being passed to os.time ("bad argument").
[Dallas Winger]
o [NSE][GH#596] Fix a bug in mysql.lua that caused authentication failures in
mysql-brute and other scripts due to including a null terminator in the salt
value. This bug affects Nmap 7.25BETA2 and later releases. [Daniel Miller]
o The --open option now implies --defeat-rst-ratelimit. This may result in
inaccuracies in the numbers of "Not shown:" closed and filtered ports, but
only in situations where it also speeds up scan times. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added known Diffie-Hellman parameters for haproxy, postfix, and
IronPort to ssl-dh-params. [Frank Bergmann]
o Added service probe for ClamAV servers (clam),
an open source antivirus engine used in mail scanning. [Paulino Calderon]
o Added service probe and UDP payload for Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC),
a secure transport developed by Google and used with HTTP/2. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Enabled resolveall to run against any target provided as a hostname, so
the resolveall.hosts script-arg is no longer required. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Revised script http-default-accounts in several ways [nnposter]:
- Added 21 new fingerprints, plus broadened 5 to cover more variants.
- [GH#577] It can now can test systems that return status 200 for
non-existent pages.
- [GH#604] Implemented XML output. Layout of the classic text output has also
changed, including reporting blank usernames or passwords as "<blank>",
instead of just empty strings.
- Added CPE entries to individual fingerprints (where known). They are
reported only in the XML output.
o [NSE][GH#573] Updated http.lua to allow processing of HTTP responses with
malformed header names. Such header lines are still captured in the rawheader
list but skipped otherwise. [nnposter]
o [GH#416] New service probe and match line for iperf3. [Eric Gershman]
o [NSE][GH#555] Add Drupal to the set of web apps brute forced by
http-form-brute. [Nima Ghotbi]
Nmap 7.31 [2016-10-20]
o [Windows] Updated the bundled Npcap from 0.10r2 to 0.10r9, bringing
increased stability, bug fixes, and raw 802.11 WiFi capture (unused
by Nmap). Further details on these changes can be found at
https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases. [Yang Luo]
o Fixed the way Nmap handles scanning names that resolve to the same IP. Due to
changes in 7.30, the IP was only being scanned once, with bogus results
displayed for the other names. The previous behavior is now restored.
[Tudor Emil Coman]
o [Nping][GH#559] Fix Nping's ability to use Npcap on Windows. A privilege
check was performed too late, so the Npcap loading code assumed the user had no
rights. [Yang Luo, Daniel Miller]
o [GH#350] Fix an assertion failure due to floating point error in equality
comparison, which triggered mainly on OpenBSD:
assertion "diff <= interval" failed: file "timing.cc", line 440
This was reported earlier as [GH#472] but the assertion fixed there was a
different one. [David Carlier]
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash in the About page in the Spanish translation due to a
missing format specifier:
File "zenmapGUI\About.pyo", line 217, in __init__
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
[Daniel Miller]
o [Zenmap][GH#556] Better visual indication that display of hostname is tied to
address in the Topology page. You can show numeric addresses with hostnames
or without, but you can't show hostnames without numeric addresses when they
are not available. [Daniel Miller]
o To increase the number of IPv6 fingerprint submissions, a prompt for
submission will be shown with some random chance for successful matches of OS
classes that are based on only a few submissions. Previously, only
unsuccessful matches produced such a prompt. [Daniel Miller]
Nmap 7.30 [2016-09-29]
o Integrated all 12 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from June to
September. No new groups, but several classifications were strengthened,
especially Windows localhost and OS X. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added 7 NSE scripts, from 3 authors, bringing the total up to 541!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below
(authors are listed in brackets):
+ [GH#369] coap-resources grabs the list of available resources from CoAP
endpoints. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ fox-info retrieves detailed version and configuration info from Tridium
Niagara Fox services. [Stephen Hilt]
+ ipmi-brute performs authentication brute-forcing on IPMI services.
[Claudiu Perta]
+ ipmi-cipher-zero checks IPMI services for Cipher Zero support, which allows
connection without a password. [Claudiu Perta]
+ ipmi-version retrieves protocol version and authentication options from
ASF-RMCP (IPMI) services. [Claudiu Perta]
+ [GH#352] mqtt-subscribe connects to a MQTT broker, subscribes to topics,
and lists the messages received. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ pcworx-info retrieves PLC model, firmware version, and date from Phoenix
Contact PLCs. [Stephen Hilt]
o Upgraded Npcap, our new Windows packet capturing driver/library,
from version to 0.09 to 0.10r2. This includes many bug fixes, with a
particular on emphasis on concurrency issues discovered by running
hundreds of Nmap instances at a time. More details are available
from https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases. [Yang Luo, Daniel
Miller, Fyodor]
o New service probes and match lines for DTLS, IPMI-RMCP, MQTT, PCWorx,
ProConOS, and Tridium Fox, [Stephen Hilt, Mak Kolybabi, Daniel Miller]
o Improved some output filtering to remove or escape carriage returns ('\r')
that could allow output spoofing by overwriting portions of the screen. Issue
reported by Adam Rutherford. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Fixed a few bad Lua patterns that could result in denial of service due
to excessive backtracking. [Adam Rutherford, Daniel Miller]
o Fixed a discrepancy between the number of targets selected with -iR and the
number of hosts scanned, resulting in output like "Nmap done: 1033 IP
addresses" when the user specified -iR 1000. [Daniel Miller]
o Fixed a bug in port specification parsing that could cause extraneous
'T', 'U', 'S', and 'P' characters to be ignored when they should have
caused an error. [David Fifield]
o [GH#543] Restored compatibility with LibreSSL, which was lost in adding
library version checks for OpenSSL 1.1. [Wonko7]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a bug in the Compare Scans window of Zenmap on OS X resulting
in this message instead of Ndiff output:
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/datetime.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/datetime.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
Reported by Kyle Gustafson. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Fixed a bug in ssl-enum-ciphers and ssl-dh-params which caused them to
not output TLSv1.2 info with DHE ciphersuites or others involving
ServerKeyExchange messages. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added X509v3 extension parsing to NSE's sslcert code. ssl-cert now
shows the Subject Alternative Name extension; all extensions are shown in the
XML output. [Daniel Miller]
Nmap 7.25BETA2 [2016-09-01]
o [GH#376] Windows binaries are now code-signed with our "Insecure.Com LLC"
SHA256 certificate. This should give our users extra peace-of-mind and avoid
triggering Microsoft's ever-increasing security warnings.
o [NSE] Upgraded NSE to Lua 5.3, adding bitwise operators, integer data type, a
utf8 library, and native binary packing and unpacking functions. Removed bit
library, added bits.lua, replaced base32, base64, and bin libraries. [Patrick
Donnelly]
o [NSE] Added 2 NSE scripts, bringing the total up to 534! They are both listed
at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below:
+ oracle-tns-version decodes the version number from Oracle Database Server's
TNS listener. [Daniel Miller]
+ clock-skew analyzes and reports clock skew between Nmap and services that
report timestamps, grouping hosts with similar skews. [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
January to April (578 of them). The signature count went up 2.2% to 10760.
We now detect 1122 protocols, from elasticsearch, fhem, and goldengate to
ptcp, resin-watchdog, and siemens-logo. [Daniel Miller]
o Upgraded Npcap, our new Windows packet capturing driver/library,
from version 0.07-r17 to 0.09. This includes many improvements you can
read about at https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases.
o [Nsock][GH#148] Added the new IOCP Nsock engine which uses the Windows
Overlapped I/O API to improve performance of version scan and NSE against
many targets on Windows. [Tudor Emil Coman]
o [GH#376] Windows binaries are now code-signed with our "Insecure.Com LLC"
SHA256 certificate. This should give our users extra peace-of-mind and avoid
triggering Microsoft's ever-increasing security warnings.
o Various performance improvements for large-scale high-rate scanning,
including increased ping host groups, faster probe matching, and ensuring
data types can handle an Internet's-worth of targets. [Tudor Emil Coman]
o [NSE] Added the oracle-tns-version NSE script which decodes the version
number from Oracle Database Server's TNS
listener. https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/oracle-tns-version.html [Daniel
Miller]
o [NSE] Added the clock-skew NSE script which analyzes and reports clock skew
between Nmap and services that report timestamps, grouping hosts with
similar skews. https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/clock-skew.html [Daniel
Miller]
o [Zenmap] Long-overdue Spanish language translation has been added! Muy bien!
[Vincent Dumont, Marta Garcia De La Paz, Paulino Calderon, Patricio Castagnaro]
o [Zenmap][GH#449] Fix a crash when closing Zenmap due to a read-only
zenmap.conf. User will be warned that config cannot be saved and that they
should fix the file permissions. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Fix a crash when parsing TLS certificates that OpenSSL doesn't support,
like DH certificates or corrupted certs. When this happens, ssl-enum-ciphers
will label the ciphersuite strength as "unknown." Reported by Bertrand
Bonnefoy-Claudet. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#531] Fix two issues in sslcert.lua that prevented correct operations
against LDAP services when version detection or STARTTLS were used.
[Tom Sellers]
o [GH#426] Remove a workaround for lack of selectable pcap file descriptors on
Windows, which required including pcap-int.h and locking us to a single
version of libpcap. The new method, using WaitForSingleObject should work
with all versions of both WinPcap and Npcap. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#234] Added a --script-timeout option for limiting run time for
every individual NSE script. [Abhishek Singh]
o [Ncat][GH#444] Added a -z option to Ncat. Just like the -z option in
traditional netcat, it can be used to quickly check the status of a
port. Port ranges are not supported since we recommend a certain other tool
for port scanning. [Abhishek Singh]
o Fix checking of Npcap/WinPcap presence on Windows so that "nmap -A" and
"nmap" with no options result in the same behaviors as on Linux (and no
crashes) [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] ssl-enum-ciphers will now warn about 64-bit block ciphers in CBC mode,
which are vulnerable to the SWEET32 attack.
o [NSE][GH#117] tftp-enum now only brute-forces IP-address-based Cisco filenames when
the wordlist contains "{cisco}". Previously, custom wordlists would still end
up sending these extra 256 requests. [Sriram Raghunathan]
o [GH#472] Avoid an unnecessary assert failure in timing.cc when printing estimated
completion time. Instead, we'll output a diagnostic error message:
Timing error: localtime(n) is NULL
where "n" is some number that is causing problems. [Jean-Guilhem Nousse]
o [NSE][GH#519] Removed the obsolete script ip-geolocation-geobytes. [Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE] Added 9 new fingerprints for script http-default-accounts.
(Motorola AP, Lantronix print server, Dell iDRAC6, HP StorageWorks, Zabbix,
Schneider controller, Xerox printer, Citrix NetScaler, ESXi hypervisor)
[nnposter]
o [NSE] Completed a refresh and validation of almost all fingerprints for
script http-default-accounts. Also improved the script speed. [nnposter]
o [GH#98] Added support for decoys in IPv6. Earlier we supported decoys only in
IPv4. [Abhishek Singh]
o Various performance improvements for large-scale high-rate scanning,
including increased ping host groups, faster probe matching, and ensuring
data types can handle an Internet's-worth of targets. [Tudor Emil Coman]
o [GH#484] Allow Nmap to compile on some older Red Hat distros that disable EC
crypto support in OpenSSL. [Jeroen Roovers, Vincent Dumont]
o [GH#439] Nmap now supports OpenSSL 1.1.0-pre5 and previous versions. [Vincent Dumont]
o [Ncat] Fix a crash ("add_fdinfo() failed.") when --exec was used with --ssl
and --max-conns, due to improper accounting of file descriptors. [Daniel
Miller]
o FTP Bounce scan: improved some edge cases like anonymous login without
password, 500 errors used to indicate port closed, and timeouts for LIST
command. Also fixed a 1-byte array overrun (read) when checking for
privileged ports. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#140] Allow target DNS names up to 254 bytes. We previously imposed an
incorrect limit of 64 bytes in several parts of Nmap. [Vincent Dumont]
o [NSE] The hard limit on number of concurrently running scripts can now
increase above 1000 to match a high user-set --min-parallelism value. [Tudor
Emil Coman]
o [NSE] Solved a memory corruption issue that would happen if a socket connect
operation produced an error immediately, such as Network Unreachable. The
event handler was throwing a Lua error, preventing Nsock from cleaning up
properly, leaking events. [Abhishek Singh, Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added the datetime library for performing date and time calculations,
and as a helper to the clock-skew script.
o [GH#103][GH#364] Made Nmap's parallel reverse DNS resolver more robust, fully
handling truncated replies. If a response is too long, we now fall back to
using the system resolver to answer it. [Abhishek Singh]
o [Zenmap][GH#279] Added a legend for the Topography window. [Suraj Hande]
Nmap 7.25BETA1 [2016-07-15]
o Nmap now ships with and uses Npcap, our new packet sniffing library
for Windows. It's based on WinPcap (unmaintained for years), but
uses modern Windows APIs for better performance. It also includes
security improvements and many bug fixes. See http://npcap.org. And
it enables Nmap to perform SYN scans and OS detection against
localhost, which we haven't been able to do on Windows since
Microsoft removed the raw sockets API in 2003. [Yang Luo, Daniel
Miller, Fyodor]
o [NSE] Added 6 NSE scripts, from 5 authors, bringing the total up to 533!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below
(authors are listed in brackets):
+ clamav-exec detects ClamAV servers vulnerable to unauthorized clamav
command execution. [Paulino Calderon]
+ http-aspnet-debug detects ASP.NET applications with debugging enabled.
[Josh Amishav-Zlatin]
+ http-internal-ip-disclosure determines if the web server leaks its internal
IP address when sending an HTTP/1.0 request without a Host header. [Josh
Amishav-Zlatin]
+ [GH#304] http-mcmp detects mod_cluster Management Protocol (MCMP) and dumps
its configuration. [Frank Spierings]
+ [GH#365] sslv2-drown detects vulnerability to the DROWN attack, including
CVE-2016-0703 and CVE-2016-0704 that enable fast attacks on OpenSSL.
[Bertrand Bonnefoy-Claudet]
+ vnc-title logs in to VNC servers and grabs the desktop title, geometry, and
color depth. [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from January
to April (539 of them). Added 98 fingerprints, bringing the new total
to 5187. Additions include Linux 4.4, Android 6.0, Windows Server
2016, and more. [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all 31 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from January to
June. The classifier added 2 groups and expanded several others. Several
Apple OS X groups were consolidated, reducing the total number of groups to
93. [Daniel Miller]
o Update oldest supported Windows version to Vista (Windows 6.0). This enables
the use of the poll Nsock engine, which has significant performance and
accuracy advantages. Windows XP users can still use Nmap 7.12, available from
https://nmap.org/dist/?C=M&O=D [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Fix a crash that happened when trying to print the percent done of 0
NSE script threads:
timing.cc:710 bool ScanProgressMeter::printStats(double, const timeval*): Assertion 'ltime' failed.
This would happen if no scripts were scheduled in a scan phase and the user
pressed a key or specified a short --stats-every interval. Reported by
Richard Petrie. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#283][Nsock] Avoid "unknown protocol:0" debug messages and an "Unknown
address family 0" crash on Windows and other platforms that do not set the
src_addr argument to recvfrom for TCP sockets. [Daniel Miller]
o Retrieve the correct network prefix length for an adapter on Windows. If more
than one address was configured on an adapter, the same prefix length would
be used for both. This incorrect behavior is still used on Windows XP and
earlier. Reported by Niels Bohr. [Daniel Miller]
o Changed libdnet-stripped to avoid bailing completely when an interface is
encountered with an unsupported hardware address type. Caused "INTERFACES:
NONE FOUND!" bugs in Nmap whenever Linux kernel added new hardware address
types. [Daniel Miller]
o Improved service detection of Docker and fixed a bug in the output of
docker-version script. [Tom Sellers]
o Fix detection of Microsoft Terminal Services (RDP). Our improved TLS service
probes were matching on port 3389 before our specific Terminal Services
probe, causing the port to be labeled as "ssl/unknown". Reported by Josh
Amishav-Zlatin.
o [NSE] Update to enable smb-os-discovery to augment version detection
for certain SMB related services using data that the script discovers.
[Tom Sellers]
o Improved version detection and descriptions for Microsoft and Samba
SMB services. Also addresses certain issues with OS identification.
[Tom Sellers]
o [NSE] ssl-enum-ciphers will give a failing score to any server with an RSA
certificate whose public key uses an exponent of 1. It will also cap the
score of an RC4-ciphersuite handshake at C and output a warning referencing
RFC 7465. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Refactored some SSLv2 functionality into a new library, sslv2.lua .
[Daniel Miller]
o [GH#399] Zenmap's authorization wrapper now uses an AppleScript method for
privilege escalation on OS X, avoiding the deprecated
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges method previously used. [Vincent Dumont]
o [GH#454] The OS X binary package is distributed in a .dmg disk image that now
features an instructive background image. [Vincent Dumont]
o [GH#420] Our OS X build system now uses gtk-mac-bundler and jhbuild to
provide all dependencies. We no longer use Macports for this purpose.
[Vincent Dumont]
o [GH#345][Zenmap] On Windows, save Zenmap's stderr output to a writeable
location (%LOCALAPPDATA%\zenmap.exe.log or %TEMP%\zenmap.exe.log) instead of
next to the zenmap.exe executable. This avoids a warning message when closing
Zenmap if it produced any stderr output. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#379][NSE] Fix http-iis-short-name-brute to report non vulnerable hosts.
Reported by alias1. [Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE][GH#371] Fix mysql-audit by adding needed library requires to the
mysql-cis.audit file. The script would fail with "Failed to load rulebase"
message. [Paolo Perego]
o [NSE][GH#362] Added support for LDAP over udp to ldap-rootdse.nse.
Also added version detection and information extraction to match the
new LDAP LDAPSearchReq and LDAPSearchReqUDP probes. [Tom Sellers]
o [GH#354] Added new version detection Probes for LDAP services, LDAPSearchReq
and LDAPSearchReqUDP. The second is Microsoft Active Directory specific. The
Probes will elicit responses from target services that allow better finger
-printing and information extraction. Also added nmap-payload entry for
detecting LDAP on udp. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE] More VNC updates: Support for VeNCrypt and Tight auth types, output of
authentication sub-types in vnc-info, and all zero-authentication types are
recognized and reported. [Daniel Miller]
Nmap 7.12 [2016-03-29]
o [Zenmap] Avoid file corruption in zenmap.conf, reported as files containing
many null ("\x00") characters. Example exceptions:
TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'list'
ValueError: unable to parse colour specification
o [NSE] VNC updates including vnc-brute support for TLS security type and
negotiating a lower RFB version if the server sends an unknown higher
version. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added STARTTLS support for VNC, NNTP, and LMTP [Daniel Miller]
o Added new service probes and match lines for OpenVPN on UDP and TCP.
Nmap 7.11 [2016-03-22]
o [NSE][GH#341] Added support for diffie-hellman-group-exchange-* SSH key
exchange methods to ssh2.lua, allowing ssh-hostkey to run on servers that
only support custom Diffie-Hellman groups. [Sergey Khegay]
o [NSE] Added support in sslcert.lua for Microsoft SQL Server's TDS protocol,
so you can now grab certs with ssl-cert or check ciphers with
ssl-enum-ciphers. [Daniel Miller]
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash when setting default window geometry:
TypeError: argument of type 'int' is not iterable
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash when displaying the date from an Nmap XML file due to an
empty or unknown locale:
File "zenmapCore/NmapParser.py", line 627, in get_formatted_date
locale.getpreferredencoding())
LookupError: unknown encoding:
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash due to incorrect file paths when installing to
/usr/local prefix. Example:
Exception: File '/home/blah/.zenmap/scan_profile.usp' does not exist or could not be found!
Nmap 7.10 [2016-03-17]
o [NSE] Added 12 NSE scripts from 7 authors, bringing the total up to 527!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below
(authors are listed in brackets):
+ [GH#322] http-apache-server-status parses the server status page of
Apache's mod_status. [Eric Gershman]
+ http-vuln-cve2013-6786 detects a XSS and URL redirection vulnerability in
Allegro RomPager web server. Also added a fingerprint for detecting
CVE-2014-4019 to http-fingerprints.lua. [Vlatko Kosturjak]
+ [GH#226] http-vuln-cve2014-3704 detects and exploits the "Drupalgeddon"
pre-auth SQL Injection vulnerability in Drupal. [Mariusz Ziulek]
+ imap-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from
NTLM-auth-enabled IMAP services. [Justin Cacak]
+ ipv6-multicast-mld-list discovers IPv6 multicast listeners with MLD probes.
The discovery is the same as targets-ipv6-multicast-mld, but the subscribed
addresses are decoded and listed. [Alexandru Geana, Daniel Miller]
+ ms-sql-ntlm-info extracts OS version and sometimes hostname from MS SQL
Server instances via the NTLM challenge message. [Justin Cacak]
+ nntp-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from
NTLM-auth-enabled NNTP services. [Justin Cacak]
+ pop3-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from
NTLM-auth-enabled POP3 services. [Justin Cacak]
+ rusers retrieves information about logged-on users from the rusersd RPC
service. [Daniel Miller]
+ [GH#333] shodan-api queries the Shodan API (https://www.shodan.io) and
retrieves open port and service info from their Internet-wide scan data.
[Glenn Wilkinson]
+ smtp-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from
NTLM-auth-enabled SMTP and submission services. [Justin Cacak]
+ telnet-ntlm-info extracts hostname and sometimes OS version from
NTLM-auth-enabled Telnet services. [Justin Cacak]
o Updated the OpenSSL shipped with our binary builds (Windows, OS X, and Linux
RPM) to 1.0.2g with SSLv2 enabled.
o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from October to
January (536 of them). Added 104 fingerprints, bringing the new total to
5089. Additions include Linux 4.2, more Windows 10, IBM i 7, and more.
Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/270 [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
October to January (508 of them). The signature count went up 2.2% to 10532.
We now detect 1108 protocols, from icy, finger, and rtsp to ipfs,
basestation, and minecraft-pe. Highlights:
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/271 [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all 12 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from October to
January. The classifier added 3 new groups, including new and expanded groups
for OS X, bringing the new total to 96. Highlights:
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/273 [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Upgrade to http-form-brute allowing correct handling of token-based
CSRF protections and cookies. Also, a simple database of common login forms
supports Django, Wordpress, MediaWiki, Joomla, and others. [Daniel Miller]
o [Zenmap] [GH#247] Remember window geometry (position and size) from the
previous time Zenmap was run. [isjing]
o New service probe for CORBA GIOP (General Inter-ORB Protocol) detection
should elicit a not-found exception from GIOP services that do not respond to
non-GIOP probes. [Quentin Hardy]
o [GH#284] Fix retrieval of route netmasks on FreeBSD. IPv6 routes were given
/32 netmasks regardless of actual netmask configured, resulting in failed
routing. Reported by Martin Gysi. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#272][GH#269] Give option parsing errors after the usage statement, or
avoid printing the usage statement in some cases. The options summary has
grown quite large, requiring users to scroll to the top to see the error
message. [Abhishek Singh]
o [GH#249][Nsock] Avoid a crash on Windows reported by users using Zenmap's
Slow Comprehensive Scan profile. In the case of unknown OpenSSL errors,
ERR_reason_error_string would return NULL, which could not be printed with
the "%s" format string. Reported by Dan Baxter. [Gisle Vanem, Daniel Miller]
o [GH#293][Zenmap] Fix a regression in our build that caused copy-and-paste to
not work in Zenmap on Windows.
o Changed Nmap's idea of reserved and private IP addresses to include
169.254/16 (RFC3927) and remove 6/8, 7/8, and 55/8 networks. This list, in
libnetutil's isipprivate function, is used to filter -iR randomly generated
targets. The newly-valid address ranges belong to the U.S. Department of
Defense, so users wanting to avoid those ranges should use their own
exclusion lists with --exclude or --exclude-file. [Bill Parker, Daniel
Miller]
o Allow the -4 option for Nmap to indicate IPv4 address family. This is the
default, and using the option doesn't change anything, but does make it more
explicit which address family you want to scan. Using -4 with -6 is an error.
[Daniel Miller]
o [GH#265] When provided a verbosity of 0 (-v0), Nmap will not output any text to the
screen. This happens at the time of argument parsing, so the usual meaning of
"verbosity 0" is preserved. [isjing]
o [NSE][GH#314] Fix naming of SSL2_RC2_128_CBC_WITH_MD5 and
SSL2_RC2_128_CBC_EXPORT40_WITH_MD5 ciphers in sslv2 in order to match the
draft specification from Mozilla. [Bertrand Bonnefoy-Claudet]
o [NSE][GH#320] Add STARTTLS support to sslv2 to enable SSLv2 detection
against services that are not TLS encrypted by default but that support
post connection upgrade. This will enable more comprehensive detection
of SSLv2 and DROWN (CVE-2016-0800) attack oracles. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE][GH#301] Added default credential checks for RICOH Web Image Monitor and
BeEF to http-default-accounts. [nnposter]
o Properly display Next-hop MTU value from ICMP Type 3 Code 4 Fragmentation
Required messages when tracing packets or in Nping output. Improper offset
meant we were printing the total IP length. [Sławomir Demeszko]
o [NSE] Added support for DHCP options "TFTP server name" and "Bootfile name"
to dhcp.lua and enabled checking for options with a code above 61 by default.
[Mike Rykowski]
o [NSE] whois-ip: Don't request a remote IANA assignments data file when the
local filesystem will not permit the file to cached in a local file. [jah]
o [NSE] Updated http-php-version hash database to cover all versions from PHP
4.1.0 to PHP 5.4.45. Based on scans of a few thousand PHP web servers pulled
from Shodan API (https://www.shodan.io/) [Daniel Miller]
o Use the same ScanProgressMeter for FTP bounce scan (-b) as for the other scan
types, allowing periodic status updates with --stats-every or keypress
events. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#274] Use a shorter pcap_select timeout on OpenBSD, just as we do for OS
X, old FreeBSD, and Solaris, which use BPF for packet capture and do not have
properly select-able fds. Fix by OpenBSD port maintainer [David Carlier]
o Print service info in grepable output for ports which are not listed in
nmap-services when a service tunnel (SSL) is detected. Previously, the
service info ("ssl|unknown") was not printed unless the service inside the
tunnel was positively identified. http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q4/260
[Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] [GH#242] Fix multiple false-positive sources in http-backup-agent.
[Tom Sellers]
Nmap 7.01 [2015-12-09]
o Switch to using gtk-mac-bundler and jhbuild for building the OS X installer.
This promises to reduce a lot of the problems we've had with local paths and
dependencies using the py2app and macports build system. [Daniel Miller]
o The Windows installer is now built with NSIS 2.47 which features LoadLibrary
security hardening to prevent DLL hijacking and other unsafe use of temporary
directories. Thanks to Stefan Kanthak for reporting the issue to NSIS and to
us and the many other projects that use it.
o Updated the OpenSSL shipped with our binary builds (Windows, OS X, and RPM)
to 1.0.2e.
o [Zenmap] [GH#235] Fix several failures to launch Zenmap on OS X. The new
build process eliminates these errors:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/etc/pango/pangorc.in'
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/Zenmap.app with error -10810.
o [NSE] [GH#254] Update the TLSSessionRequest probe in ssl-enum-ciphers to
match the one in nmap-service-probes, which was fixed previously to correct a
length calculation error. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] [GH#251] Correct false positives and unexpected behavior in http-*
scripts which used http.identify_404 to determine when a file was not found
on the target. The function was following redirects, which could be an
indication of a soft-404 response. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE] [GH#241] Fix a false-positive in hnap-info when the target responds
with 200 OK to any request. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE] [GH#244] Fix an error response in xmlrpc-methods when run against a
non-HTTP service. The expected behavior is no output. [Niklaus Schiess]
o [NSE] Fix SSN validation function in http-grep, reported by Bruce Barnett.
Nmap 7.00 [2015-11-19]
o This is the most important release since Nmap 6.00 back in May 2012!
For a list of the most significant improvements and new features,
see the announcement at: https://nmap.org/7/
o [NSE] Added 6 NSE scripts from 6 authors, bringing the total up to 515!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below
(authors are listed in brackets):
+ targets-xml extracts target addresses from previous Nmap XML results files.
[Daniel Miller]
+ [GH#232] ssl-dh-params checks for problems with weak, non-safe, and
export-grade Diffie-Hellman parameters in TLS handshakes. This includes the
LOGJAM vulnerability (CVE-2015-4000). [Jacob Gajek]
+ nje-node-brute does brute-forcing of z/OS JES Network Job Entry node names.
[Soldier of Fortran]
+ ip-https-discover detectings support for Microsoft's IP over HTTPS
tunneling protocol. [Niklaus Schiess]
+ [GH#165] broadcast-sonicwall-discover detects and extracts information from
SonicWall firewalls. [Raphael Hoegger]
+ [GH#38] http-vuln-cve2014-8877 checks for and optionally exploits a
vulnerability in CM Download Manager plugin for Wordpress. [Mariusz Ziulek]
o [Ncat] [GH#151] [GH#142] New option --no-shutdown prevents Ncat from shutting
down when it reads EOF on stdin. This is the same as traditional netcat's
"-d" option. [Adam Saponara]
o [NSE] [GH#229] Improve parsing in http.lua for multiple Set-Cookie headers in
a single response. [nnposter]
Nmap 6.49BETA6 [2015-11-03]
o Integrated all of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from April to October
(only 9 of them!). We are steadily improving the IPv6 database, but we need
your submissions. The classifier added 3 new groups, bringing the new total
to 93. Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q4/61 [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from February to
October (1065 of them). Added 219 fingerprints, bringing the new total to
4985. Additions include Linux 4.1, Windows 10, OS X 10.11, iOS 9, FreeBSD
11.0, Android 5.1, and more. Highlights:
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q4/60 [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
February to October (800+ of them). The signature count went up 2.5% to
10293. We now detect 1089 protocols, from afp, bitcoin, and caldav to
xml-rpc, yiff, and zebra. Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q4/62
[Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added 10 NSE scripts from 5 authors, bringing the total up to 509!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below
(authors are listed in brackets):
+ knx-gateway-discover and knx-gateway-info scripts gather information from
multicast and unicast KNX gateways, which connect home automation systems
to IP networks. [Niklaus Schiess, Dominik Schneider]
+ http-ls parses web server directory index pages with optional recursion.
[Pierre Lalet]
+ xmlrpc-methods perfoms introspection of xmlrpc services and lists methods
and their descriptions. [Gyanendra Mishra]
+ http-fetch can be used like wget or curl to fetch all files, specific
filenames, or files that match a given pattern. [Gyanendra Mishra]
+ http-svn-enum enumerates users of a Subversion repository by examining
commit logs. [Gyanendra Mishra]
+ http-svn-info requests information from a Subversion repository, similar to
the "svn info" command. [Gyanendra Mishra]
+ hnap-info detects and outputs info for Home Network Administration Protocol
devices. [Gyanendra Mishra]
+ http-webdav-scan detects WebDAV servers and reports allowed methods and
directory listing. [Gyanendra Mishra]
+ tor-consensus-checker checks the target's address with the Tor directory
authorities to determine if a target is a known Tor node. [Jiayi Ye]
o [NSE] Several scripts have been split, combined, or renamed:
+ [GH#171] smb-check-vulns has been split into:
* smb-vuln-conficker
* smb-vuln-cve2009-3103
* smb-vuln-ms06-025
* smb-vuln-ms07-029
* smb-vuln-regsvc-dos
* smb-vuln-ms08-067
The scripts now use the vulns library, and the "unsafe" script-arg has been
replaced by putting the scripts into the "dos" category. [Paulino Calderon]
+ http-email-harvest was removed, as the new http-grep does email address
scraping by default. [Gyanendra Mishra]
+ http-drupal-modules was renamed to http-drupal-enum. Extended to enumerate
both themes and modules of Drupal installaions. [Gyanendra Mishra]
o [Ncat] [GH#193] Fix Ncat listen mode over Unix sockets (named pipes) on OS X.
This was crashing with the error:
Ncat: getnameinfo failed: Undefined error: 0 QUITTING.
Fixed by forcing the name to "localhost" [Michael Wallner]
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash in Zenmap when using Compare Results:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_nmap_output'
[Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] [GH#194] Add support for reading fragmented TLS messages to
ssl-enum-ciphers. [Jacob Gajek]
o [GH#51] Added IPv6 support to nmap_mass_rdns, improved reverse DNS cache,
and refactored DNS code to improve readability and
extensibility. All in all, this makes the rDNS portion of IPv6 scans
much faster. [Gioacchino Mazzurco]
o [NSE] Added NTLM brute support to http-brute. [Gyanendra Mishra]
o [NSE] Added NTLM authentication support to http.lua and a related function to create
an ntlm v2 session response in smbauth.lua. [Gyanendra Mishra]
o [NSE] [GH#106] Added a new NSE module, ls.lua, for accumulating and
outputting file and directory listings. The afp-ls, nfs-ls, and smb-ls
scripts have been converted to use this module. [Pierre Lalet]
o [NSE] bacnet-info.nse and s7-info.nse were added to the version category.
[Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE] Added 124 new identifiers to bacnet-info.nse vendor database.
[Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE] Fixed bacnet-info.nse to bind to the service port detected
during scan instead of fixed port. [Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE] Enhanced reporting of elliptic curve names and strengths in
ssl-enum-ciphers. The name of the curve is now reported instead of just "ec"
[Brandon Paulsen]
o [GH#75] Normalize Makefile targets to use the same verb-project format, e.g.
build-ncat, check-zenmap, install-nping, clean-nsock [Gioacchino Mazzurco]
o [NSE] Added builtin pattern and multiple pattern search to http-grep. [Gyanendra Mishra]
o [NSE] http-crossdomainxml is now http-cross-domain-policy and supports client
access policies and uses the new SLAXML parser. [Gyanendra Mishra]
o [NSE] Added a patch for vulns lib that allows list of tables to be submitted
to fields in the vulns report. [Jacob Gajek]
o [NSE] Added additional checks for successful PUT request in http-put.
[Oleg Mitrofanov]
o [NSE] Added an update for http-methods that checks all possible methods not in
Allow or Public header of OPTIONS response. [Gyanendra Mishra]
o [NSE] Added SLAXML, an XML parser in Lua originally written by Gavin Kistner
(a.k.a. Phrogz). [Gyanendra Mishra]
o [NSE] [GH#122] Update the snmp-brute and other snmp-* scripts to use the
creds library to store brute-forced snmp community strings. This allows Nmap
to use the correct brute-forced string for each host. [Gioacchino Mazzurco]
o Several improvements to TLS/SSL detection in nmap-service-probes. A new
probe, TLSSessionReq, and improvements to default SSL ports should help speed
up -sV scans. http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/17 [Daniel Miller]
o [Nsock] Clean up the API so that nsp_* calls are now nsock_pool_* and nsi_*
are nsock_iod_*. Simplify Nsock SSL init API, and make logging global to the
library instead of associated with a nspool. [Henri Doreau]
o [GH#181] The configure script now prints a summary of configured options.
Most importantly, it warns if OpenSSL was not found, since most users will
want this library compiled in. [Gioacchino Mazzurco]
o Define TCP Options for SYN scan in nmap.h instead of literally throughout.
This string is used by p0f and other IDS to detect Nmap scans, so having it a
compile-time option is a step towards better evasion. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#51] Nmap's parallel reverse-DNS resolver now handles IPv6 addresses. This
should result in faster -6 scans. The old behavior is available with
--system-dns. [Gioacchino Mazzurco]
o [NSE] Fix a couple odd bugs in NSE command-line parsing. Most notably,
--script broadcast-* will now work (generally, wildcards with scripts whose
name begins with a category name were not working properly). [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] [GH#113] http-form-fuzzer will now stop increasing the size of a
request when an HTTP 413 or 414 error indicates the web server will not
accept a larger request. [Gioacchino Mazzurco]
o [NSE] [GH#159] Add the ability to tag credentials in the creds library with
freeform text for easy retrieval. This gives necessary granularity to track
credentials to multiple web apps on a single host+port. [Gioacchino Mazzurco]
Nmap 6.49BETA5 [2015-09-25]
o Work around a bug which could cause Nmap to hang when running
multiple instances at once on Windows. The actual bug appears to be
in the WinPCAP driver in that it hanges when accessed via
OpenServiceA by multiple processes at once. So for now we have added
a mutex to prevent even multiple Nmap processes from making
