Nmap 5.61TEST2 [2011-09-30]
o [NSE] Added 3 scripts, bringing the total to 246! You can learn
more about any of them at http://nmap.org/nsedoc/. Here are the new
ones (authors listed in brackets):
+ lltd-discovery uses the Microsoft LLTD protocol to discover hosts
on a local network. [Gorjan Petrovski]
+ ssl-google-cert-catalog queries Google's Certificate Catalog for
the SSL certificates retrieved from target hosts. [Vasiliy Kulikov]
+ quake3-info extracts information from a Quake3-like game
server. [Toni Ruottu]
o Improved AIX support for raw scans. This includes some patches
originally written by Peter O'Gorman and Florian Schmid. It also
involved various build fixes found necessary on AIX 6.1 and 7.1.

Nmap 5.61TEST1 [2011-09-19]
o The changelog entries below for this test release are not yet
finished or comprehensive. We'll update them soon.
o Added Common Platform Enumeration (CPE, http://cpe.mitre.org/)
output for OS and service versions. This is a standard way of
identifying operating systems and applications so that Nmap can
better interoperate with other software. Nmap's own
taxonomy/classification system is still supported as well. Some OS
and version detection results don't have CPE entries yet. CPE
entries show up in normal output with the headings "OS CPE:" and
"Service Info:":
OS CPE: cpe:/o:linux:kernel:2.6.39
Service Info: OS: Linux; CPE: cpe:/o:linux:kernel
These also appear in XML output, which additionally has CPE entries
for service versions. [David, Henri]
o [Ncat] Updated ca-bundle.crt (primarily to remove DigiNotar).
o Added IPv6 Neighbor Discovery ping. This is the IPv6 analog to IPv4
ARP scan. It is the default ping type for local IPv6 networks.
[Weilin]
o [NSE] Added 27 scripts, bringing the total to 243! You can learn
more about any of them at http://nmap.org/nsedoc/. Here are the new
ones (authors listed in brackets):
+ address-info shows extra information about IPv6 addresses, such as
embedded MAC or IPv4 addresses when available. [David Fifield]
+ bittorrent-discovery discovers bittorrent peers sharing a file
based on a user-supplied torrent file or magnet link. [Gorjan
Petrovski]
+ broadcast-db2-discover attempts to discover DB2 servers on the
network by sending a broadcast request to port 523/udp. [Patrik
Karlsson]
+ broadcast-dhcp-discover sends a DHCP request to the broadcast
address (255.255.255.255) and reports the results. [Patrik
Karlsson]
+ broadcast-listener sniffs the network for incoming broadcast
communication and attempts to decode the received packets. It
supports protocols like CDP, HSRP, Spotify, DropBox, DHCP, ARP and
a few more. [Patrik Karlsson]
+ broadcast-ping sends broadcast pings on a selected interface using
raw ethernet packets and outputs the responding hosts' IP and MAC
addresses or (if requested) adds them as targets. []
+ cvs-brute performs brute force password auditing against CVS
pserver authentication. [Patrik Karlsson]
+ cvs-brute-repository attempts to guess the name of the CVS
repositories hosted on the remote server. With knowledge of the
correct repository name, usernames and passwords can be
guessed. [Patrik Karlsson]
+ ftp-vsftpd-backdoor tests for the presence of the vsFTPd 2.3.4
backdoor reported on 2011-07-04 (CVE-2011-2523). This script
attempts to exploit the backdoor using the innocuous 'id' command
by default, but that can be changed with the 'exploit.cmd' or
'ftp-vsftpd-backdoor.cmd' script arguments. [Daniel Miller]
+ ftp-vuln-cve2010-4221 checks for a stack-based buffer overflow in
the ProFTPD server, version between 1.3.2rc3 and 1.3.3b. [Djalal
Harouni]
+ http-awstatstotals-exec exploits a remote code execution
vulnerability in Awstats Totals 1.0 up to 1.14 and possibly other
products based on it (CVE: 2008-3922). [Paulino Calderon]
+ http-axis2-dir-traversal Exploits a directory traversal
vulnerability in Apache Axis2 version 1.4.1 by sending a specially
crafted request to the parameter 'xsd' (OSVDB-59001). By default
it will try to retrieve the configuration file of the Axis2
service '/conf/axis2.xml' using the path '/axis2/services/' to
return the username and password of the admin account. [Paulino
Calderon]
+ http-default-accounts tests for access with default credentials
used by a variety of web applications and devices. [Paulino
Calderon]
+ http-google-malware checks if hosts are on Google's blacklist of
suspected malware and phishing servers. These lists are constantly
updated and are part of Google's Safe Browsing service. [Paulino
Calderon]
+ http-joomla-brute performs brute force password auditing against
Joomla web CMS installations. [Paulino Calderon]
+ http-litespeed-sourcecode-download exploits a null-byte poisoning
vulnerability in Litespeed Web Servers 4.0.x before 4.0.15 to
retrieve the target script's source code by sending a HTTP request
with a null byte followed by a .txt file extension
(CVE-2010-2333). [Paulino Calderon]
+ http-vuln-cve2011-3192 detects a denial of service vulnerability
in the way the Apache web server handles requests for multiple
overlapping/simple ranges of a page. [Duarte Silva]
+ http-waf-detect attempts to determine whether a web server is
protected by an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), IDS (Intrusion
Detection System) or WAF (Web Application Firewall) by probing the
web server with malicious payloads and detecting changes in the
response code and body. [Paulino Calderon]
+ http-wordpress-brute performs brute force password auditing
against Wordpress CMS/blog installations. [Paulino Calderon]
+ http-wp-enum enumerates usernames in Wordpress blog/CMS
installations by exploiting an information disclosure vulnerability
existing in versions 2.6, 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.3 and 3.2-beta2 and
possibly others. [Paulino Calderon]
+ imap-brute performs brute force password auditing against IMAP
servers using either LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 or NTLM
authentication. [Patrik Karlsson]
+ smtp-brute performs brute force password auditing against SMTP
servers using either LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 or NTLM
authentication. [Patrik Karlsson]
+ smtp-vuln-cve2011-1764 checks for a format string vulnerability in
the Exim SMTP server (version 4.70 through 4.75) with DomainKeys
Identified Mail (DKIM) support (CVE-2011-1764). [Djalal Harouni]
+ targets-ipv6-multicast-echo sends an ICMPv6 echo request packet to
the all-nodes link-local multicast address (ff02::1) to discover
responsive hosts on a LAN without needing to individually ping
each IPv6 address. [David Fifield, Xu Weilin]
+ targets-ipv6-multicast-invalid-dst sends an ICMPv6 packet with an
invalid extension header to the all-nodes link-local multicast
address (ff02::1) to discover (some) available hosts on the
LAN. This works because some hosts will respond to this probe with
an ICMPv6 parameter problem packet. [David Fifield, Xu Weilin]
+ targets-ipv6-multicast-slaac performs IPv6 host discovery by
triggering stateless address auto-configuration (SLAAC). [David
Fifield, Xu Weilin]
+ xmpp-brute Performs brute force password auditing against XMPP
(Jabber) instant messaging servers. [Patrik Karlsson]
o Fixed compilation on OS X 10.7 Lion. Thanks to Patrik Karlsson and
Babak Farroki for researching fixes.
o [Ncat] Updated SSL certificate store (ca-bundle.crt), primarily to
remove epic fail DigiNotar.

o [NSE] Added three scripts that do host discovery on local IPv6
subnets. Each of them uses a different multicast technique, meaning
that even very large networks have host discovery done without
needing to probe every address individually.
+ targets-multicast-ipv6-echo: Sends a multicast echo request, like
broadcast-ping does for IPv4.
+ targets-multicast-ipv6-invalid-dst: Sends an invalid packet that
can elicit an ICMPv6 Parameter Problem response.

which causes hosts to allocate a temporary address and then send a
packet to discover if anyone else is using the address.

o [NSE] Added basic query support to the Oracle TNS library so that scripts
