This is a refactoring of target parsing that stores different types of
target specifications as different classes. The eventual intention is to
allow easy iteration over each specification for the purpose of IPv6
multicast host discovery.
a layer 4 protocol used mostly for telephony related applications.
This brings the following new features:
o SCTP INIT chunk port scan (-sY): open ports return an INIT-ACK
chunk, closed ones an ABORT chunk. This is the SCTP equivalent
of a TCP SYN stealth scan.
o SCTP COOKIE-ECHO chunk port scan (-sZ): open ports are silent,
closed ports return an ABORT chunk.
o SCTP INIT chunk ping probes (-PY): host discovery using SCTP
INIT chunk packets.
o SCTP-specific IP protocol scan (-sO -p sctp).
o SCTP-specific traceroute support (--traceroute).
o The ability to use the deprecated Adler32 algorithm as specified
in RFC 2960 instead of CRC32C from RFC 4960 (--adler32).
o 42 well-known SCTP ports were added to the nmap-services file.
Part of the work on SCTP support was kindly sponsored by
Compass Security AG, Switzerland. [Daniel Roethlisberger]
This is the merging of the code that was previously in
/nmap-exp/david/nmap-massping-migration. These are all the big changes
that get rid of massping in favor of doing host discovery using
ultra_scan.
For now, there is a toggle that turns these new changes off. Undefine
NEW_MASSPING in targets.cc to go back to the old code. All of that will
be deleted eventually.
There are likely a few more changes that will be made to this system in
the near future. Those will be made in
/nmap-exp/david/nmap-massping-migration and merged back.
Don't release this just yet, because I'm going to make a few more
commits real quick to remove some debugging stuff.
(Note to self: this merge back was from r5693 in
/nmap-exp/david/nmap-massping-migration.)
