How to upgrade Nmap to a new WinPcap release (2009)
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1) Download the latest version of WinPcap from www.winpcap.org and make
|
|
a note of the version (for example 4.1).
|
|
|
|
2) Update the LICENSE file, if necessary. I couldn't find a plain
|
|
WinPcap license file anywhere. There's an HTML version at
|
|
http://www.winpcap.org/misc/copyright.htm. You can copy and paste
|
|
the license text from the installer into the LICENSE file which should
|
|
be saved as PC file format (not UNIX) and ANSI encoding (not UTF-8).
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Extract all the files from the setup file using 7-Zip
|
|
(http://www.7-zip.org/). Enter the $SYSDIR subdirectory. One by one,
|
|
extract (you can drag and drop) the different copies of the files.
|
|
Copy the files into the mswin32/winpcap directory (you may need to
|
|
install WinPcap in order to determine the correct files; if you get
|
|
two similar looking files it's usually the smaller one). The installed
|
|
files at time of writing are:
|
|
|
|
C:\Program Files\WinPcap\rpcapd.exe
|
|
C:\Windows\system32\Packet.dll
|
|
C:\Windows\system32\pthreadVC.dll
|
|
C:\Windows\system32\wpcap.dll
|
|
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\npf.sys
|
|
|
|
The Vista version of Packet.dll needs to be extracted into the
|
|
mswin32/winpcap/vista subdirectory. Right click on each Packet.dll,
|
|
click "Properties", then select the "Version" tab. The
|
|
"Description:" field will have a string containing "NT4", "NT5", or
|
|
"Vista". We don't support NT4, so those files are not required.
|
|
|
|
The AMD64 version of npf.sys needs to be extracted into the
|
|
mswin32/winpcap/x64 subdirectory. Right click on each npf.sys,
|
|
click "Properties", then select the "Version" tab. The
|
|
"Description:" field will have a string containing "AMD64".
|
|
|
|
4) Open winpcap-nmap.nsi. Change the version for the following lines:
|
|
|
|
Name "WinPcap (Nmap) X.X.X"
|
|
OutFile "winpcap-nmap-X.XX.exe
|
|
WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\winpcap-nmap" "DisplayName" "winpcap-nmap X.XX"
|
|
|
|
5) Get the internal 'FileVersion' from wpcap.dll. Right-click on
|
|
wpcap.dll and select "Properties", then select the "Version" tab.
|
|
Copy the number there into this part of winpcap-nmap.nsi:
|
|
|
|
var /GLOBAL my_ver
|
|
StrCpy $my_ver "X.X.X.X" <-- file version goes here
|
|
|
|
6) Generate installer exe by compiling winpcap-nmap.nsi using the
|
|
running the command
|
|
makensis winpcap-nmap.nsi
|
|
makensis is part of the "Nullsoft Scriptable Install System" at
|
|
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/.
|
|
|
|
7) Give the installer a test, make sure the correct version appears in
|
|
the installer's name and in Add/Remove Programs. You may also want to
|
|
try installing it when it is already installed or an older version is
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
8) Open mswin32/nsis/Nmap.nsi and update the references to the winpcap
|
|
installer's name. You should only have to change the version number.
|
|
The section you need to look at starts like this:
|
|
Section "WinPcap X.X" SecWinPcap
|
|
|
|
9) Download the WinPcap developer package
|
|
(http://www.winpcap.org/devel.htm) and replace all the files in
|
|
mswin32/lib/ with the new versions inside the package.
|
|
|
|
10) Build the Nmap installer. The best way to do this is to run "make" in
|
|
the mswin32 directory. This will build Nmap and run makensis for you.
|
|
Test the installer. You may want to try it with Nmap already
|
|
installed and with different versions installed. Also check that
|
|
everything appears in Add/Remove Programs correctly.
|
|
|
|
11) Test Nmap functionallity that uses WinPcap (raw packet scans, raw
|
|
packet pings, traceroute).
|
|
|
|
12) Sit back and have a cup of coffee, you deserve it :)
