Windows. Use this bundle if no other was specified with --ssl-trustfile.
Instructions for extracting the certificates are included. I have to go back
now and make this compile on Unix.
then old files that were in a previous build can be in the zip file of a new
build that doesn't have those files anymore. When the zip command sees an
existing archive, it modifies the archive rather than rebuilding it from
scratch.
space reasons, it is not an executable compiled with py2exe as in
the executable installer, rather it is the Ndiff source code
(ndiff.py) and a batch file wrapper (ndiff.bat). Because it's not
precompiled, it's necessary to have a Python interpreter
installed. [David]
duplicate DLL files to the distribution. David found that using a
different GTK download fixed the problem (see
docs/win32-installer-zenmap-buildguide.txt) and Fyodor was able to
reproduce and implement.
scan on Windows with --unprivileged. Previously Nmap assumed that the only way
o.isr00t could be false on Windows was if pcap functions were not available, so
the user would get the false message "requires that WinPcap version 3.1 or
higher...". NmapOps now has a state variable have_pcap so the meaning of isr00t
isn't overloaded.
some reason. I needed this because I got
6>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'nsock.lib'
6>Build log was saved at "file://c:\cygwin\home\david\nmap\ncat\Release\BuildLog.htm"
6>ncat - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)
the first time I built the solution after cleaning. I had to build it a second
time to let ncat find nsock.lib.
some bug fixes and precautionary measures. A 0.9.9 release is
already mentioned in their online changelog (with a whole lot
of entries), but there is no set release date that I've seen.
Tested on XP with Nmap and Ncat.
Windows and UNIX, and install/distro system for the source tarball, RPM, OS X
installer (thanks to David) and the Windows installer.

npf (Winpcap) service during install/uninstall. Also the silent

uninstalling (it would have already been removed). I put in a comment
explaining that nselib-bin used to be used but isn't any longer. Thanks to jah
for the suggestion.
too. The section in scripting.xml about creating C modules is gone. (But maybe
it should be replaced with a tutorial on making static modules?) The only
places where nselib-bin is still referenced are in mswin32/nsis/Nmap.nsi, where
it is still removed on uninstallation; and in mswin32/nmap.vcproj, from where I
don't have the resources now to remove it.
and having close() #defined to my_close() in nbase_winunix.h, I'm just defining close()
to closesocket() in nbase_winunix.h and removing my_close() from winfix.cc. I'm also
defining EWOULDBLOCK to WSAEWOULDBLOCK in nbase_winunix.h.
Nmap builds fine with these changes, and since it's just defining close() to something
that already exists, it shouldn't negatively affect other branches.
These are things I noticed while trying to cleanly "re-port" Ncat to VC++2008.
nse_main and nse_nsock. nse_main now uses Lua to create printable output
while a cleaner hexify procedure has been placed in nsock.
nse_string is removed as a result.
Visual C++ 2008 runtime components if they aren't already installed
on a system. These are some reasonably small DLLs that are
generally necessary for applications compiled with Visual C++ (with
dynamic linking). Many or most systems already have these installed
from other software packages. The lack of these components led to
the error message "The Application failed to intialize properly
(0xc0150002)." with Nmap 4.65. A related change is that Nmap on
Windows is now compiled with /MD rather than /MT so that it
consistently uses these runtime libraries. The patch was created by
Rob Nicholls.
