automatically converted to bare LF when input is from the console, but
not when it is from a pipe or a file. No newline translation is done
on output (it was being done before). This makes it possible to
transfer binary files with Ncat on Windows without any corruption.
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]
right type of probe (0 with 8, 14 with 13, 18 with 17). With the new
default ping, I was scanning a network where an echo reply would
mistakenly be interpreted as a response to a timestamp request, even
though that host didn't respond to timestamp requests. That host would
become the global ping host, and all its probes would be dropped,
slowing the scan way down. A ping scan of a /24 took over 1,000 seconds
when it should have taken about 10.
exhaustive testing of 90 different probes, this one emerged as the
best four-probe combination, finding 14% more Internet hosts than
the previous default, -PE -PA80. The default for nonroot users is
-PS80,443, replacing the previous default of -PS80. In addition,
ping probes are now sent in order of effectiveness (-PE first) so
that less likely probes may not have to be sent.

Debian puts them there. We still check the likes of

better interface with tabs instead of a linear sequence of pages. The
ability to run a scan from the editor was the one thing the command
wizard could do that the profile editor couldn't, but now it can do that
too.

should prevent name collisions with internal but exported functions
in shared libraries Nmap links against (e.g. adler32() in zlib).
Such collisions seem to confuse the runtime linker on some platforms.

attempt to reduce the number of warnings like "Warning: Servicescan
failed to fill info_template...". Parts of this change include:
o Improved the text of the warning to be less confusing
o Increased the internal version info buffer to 256 chars from 128
o Increased the final version string length to 160 from 128 chars
o Changed the behavior when constructing the final version string so
that if it runs out of space, rather than dropping the output of that
template it truncates the template with ...
o Fixed the printing of unneeded spaces between templates when one of the
templates isn't going to be printed at all.
