There are various functions in the internal nmap.socket and nmap.dnet
libraries that are there for technical reasons:
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q1/318
The sleep function is exposed through the stdnse namespace because it
fits that library better.
Some code comments said that names such as nmap.new_socket were
deprecated in favor of e.g. nmap.socket.new, but the old names were
never formally deprecated, so I removed those comments.
Previously they were a flat list intermixing human-readable names and
CPE strings. Now they reflect the structure that we use to represent
them. In brief:
host.os = {
{
name = "Microsoft Windows XP",
classes = {
{
vendor = "Microsoft",
osfamily = "Windows",
osgen = "XP",
type = "general purpose",
cpe = {
"cpe:/o:microsoft:windows_xp"
}
},
... more classes ...
},
},
... more OS matches ...
}
CPEs are available at host.os (for the ones from OS fingerprinting) and
port.version.cpe (for the version detection ones).
This patch also fix a memory leak that David noticed in
PortList::setServiceProbeResults().

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.
unspecified and causes a segmentation fault on Android Bionic libc.
Vlatko fixed the bug in his Android binaries and it was first reported
by @alexismm2.
This is a maintenance fix for the NSE Nsock library binding. The patch focuses
on code correctness and simplicity. The patch also brings some initial updates
with an eye towards the upcoming Lua 5.2 release. See [1] for a post concerning
this branch.

o [NSE] Added the nmap.resolve() function which takes a host name and
optionally an address family (such as "inet") and returns a table
containing all of its matching addresses. If no address family is
specified, then all of the addresses are returned for the name. [Kris]
o [NSE] Added the nmap.address_family() function which returns the address
family Nmap is using as a string (e.g., "inet6" is returned if Nmap is
called with the -6 option). [Kris]
* Adding path-mtu.nse for Path MTU Discovery
* Nmap now stores the MTU for interfaces (from SIOCGIFMTU or libdnet)
* Scripts can access the MTU for host.interface via host.interface_mtu
* Nmap prints the MTU for interfaces in --iflist
This table contains Nmap's timing data (srtt, the smoothed round
trip time; rttvar, the rtt variance; and timeout), all represented
as floating-point seconds. The ipidseq and qscan scripts were
updated to utilize the host's timeout value instead of the very
conservative guess of 3 seconds for read timeouts. [Kris]
point seconds since the epoch, and add clock_ms() and clock_us() to stdnse
for convenience (millisecond and microsecond).
qscan.nse now provides microsecond resolution.
entries:
o [NSE] Raw packet sending at the IP layer is now supported, in addition to
the Ethernet sending functionality. Packets to send start with an IPv4
header and can be sent to arbitrary hosts. [Kris]
o [NSE] Added the ipidseq script to classify a host's IP ID sequence numbers
in the same way Nmap does. This can be used to test hosts' suitability for
Nmap's Idle Scan (-sI), i.e. check if a host is an idle zombie. This is
the first script to use the new raw IP sending functionality in NSE. [Kris]
o [NSE] Added the function nmap.is_privileged() to tell a script if, as far
as Nmap's concerned, it can do privileged operations. For instance, this
can be used to see if a script should be able to open a raw socket or
Ethernet interface. [Kris]
o [NSE] Added the function nmap.get_ports() to allow a script to iterate
over a host's port tables matching a certain protocol and state. [Kris,
Patrick]
changes. The first is that Port objects don't allocate memory for
service and RPC results unless that information is set. This reduces the
size of a bare Port from 92 to 40 bytes on my machine. The second change
is that PortList now has the notion of a "default port state," which is
the state of any ports that didn't receive a response. These ports don't
need an allocated Port object, which saves a lot of memory in scans
where most ports didn't get a response.
now a script is limited in parallelism to working on one socket at any
time. A script can now create a worker thread that will be capable of
doing work on sockets in parallel with the parent script. See [1] for
more information.
This patch also comes with condition variables that are similar to
POSIX condition variables. They are used in the same fashion as
NSE's mutexes (nmap.mutex).

to replace the current_hosts static variable shared between nse_main.cc
and nse_nmaplib.cc. This improves locality and offers a clearer interface.
