From e80f1188e2a541ee0e62cc3b7785fed5c8bd38ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: david Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:03:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [Ncat] There is a backwards-incompatible change in the way that listen mode works. The new default behavior is to accept only one connection, and quit when the connection ends. This was necessary to prevent data loss in some situations; some programs require Ncat to send an EOF before they flush their internal buffers and finish processing the last bit of data. See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q2/0528.html for more information. Use the new -k or --keep-open option to get the old behavior, in which Ncat will accept multiple simultaneous connection, combine all their input, and accept more connections after a disconnection. --- CHANGELOG | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG b/CHANGELOG index 74192a3bb..8bd5093bf 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG +++ b/CHANGELOG @@ -1,5 +1,17 @@ # Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*- +o [Ncat] There is a backwards-incompatible change in the way that + listen mode works.
