From 5b20265d90445be3132c3e1cba3d1e1ca4e17c1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: fyodor Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 08:55:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] CHANGELOG update for impending 4.22SOC6 release --- CHANGELOG | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG b/CHANGELOG index 272baa8f4..9c82b47ab 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG +++ b/CHANGELOG @@ -1,13 +1,63 @@ # Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*- +4.22SOC6 + +o Included David's major massping migration project. The same + underlying engine is now uses for ping scanning as for port + scanning. We hope this will lead to better performance and + accuracy, as well as helping to de-bloat Nmap. Please test it out + and report your results to nmap-dev! For more details, see + http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q3/0277.html + o Fixed UMIT bug which occurred when installing to a non-standard directory (e.g. a home directory). This caused Python to not be able to find the necessary files. [Kris] +o Added an NSE script (HTTPpasswd.nse) for finding directory traversal + problems and /etc/password files on web servers. [Kris] + o Removed win_dependencies cruft from UMIT directory. [Kris] o Upgraded libpcap from version 0.9.4 to 0.9.7 [Kris] +o Removed the effectively empty XML elements for traceroute hops which + timed out. [Eddie] + +o Fixed (I hope) a problem with running Nmap on Mac OS X machines with + VMWare Fusion running. The error message started with: + "getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (vmnet8). A + possible cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF + devices ...." For more details, see + http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q3/0254.html. + +o Check that --script arguments are reasonable when Nmap starts rather + than potentially waiting for a bunch of port scanning to finish + first. [Stoiko] + +o Fixed (we hope) a UMIT problem which resulted in the error message: + "NameError: global name 'S_IRUSR' is not defined". [Adriano] + +o Removed an error message which used to appear when you quit UMIT on + Windows. The message used to say "Errors occurred - See the logfile + [filename] for details." [Adriano] + +o Fix permissions on files installed by Umit so that it should work + even if you do 'make install' from an account with a 077 umask. + +o Add a feature to Umit that lets you search your unsaved + scans. [Eddie] + +o Added back a previously removed feature which allows you to specify + 'rnd' as one of your decoys (-D option) to let Nmap choose a random + IP. You also use a format such as rnd:5 to generate five random + decoys. [Kris] + +o Reference guide (man page) updates to the NSE section, and some + general cleanup. + +o When Nmap finishes, it now says "Nmap done" rather than "Nmap run + completed". No need to waste pixels on excess verbiage. + 4.22SOC5 o The Windows installer should actually install UMIT properly now.
