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.)
