the name of a file containing all of your desired NSE script
arguments. The arguments may be separated with commas or newlines
and may be overridden by arguments specified on the command-line
with --script-args. [Daniel Miller]

This is the IPv6 OS detection branch. "nmap -6 -O" works now, though at
this point it only prints fingerprints and not OS guesses, because we
need to collect more submissions.
Nmap delays parsing for options that require knowledge of other options that
the user might have supplied in order to make informed decisions. This is
achieved by using a temporary storage place in which options that can't be
correctly parsed and interpreted without having full knowledge of all other
user supplied command line arguments like -S and -6.
returning floating-point seconds. Everywhere o.TimeSinceStartMS was
called, the return value was being divided by 1000.0, which had the same
effect but would overflow when the difference exceeded about 25 days
(2^31 milliseconds). This patch is by Daniel Miller.
was to hide command line arguments from the process list. It had
been broken (would segfault during the second scan) since before May
2009 until February 2010 and was rarely used. The fact that it was
broken was reported by Juan Carlos Castro y Castro.

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]
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.
o Added the undocumented (except here) --nogcc option which disables
global/group congestion control algorithms and so each member of a
scan group of machines is treated separately. This is just an
experimental option for now. [Fyodor]
Previously the ping probe data structures were stored in NmapOps,
now they will be stored in the scan_lists struct. All other changes
auxiliary to this reorganization.
