This is a test packaging of Nmap and Zenmap for Mac OS X. It is meant to work on both Intel and PowerPC Macs running Mac OS X 10.4 or later. We are distributing this in the hope of creating a really great distribution of Nmap and Zenmap on the Mac, and for that we need your help. Please try it out and send comments and suggestions to nmap-dev@insecure.org. The nmap command-line binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin, and additional support files will be installed in /usr/local/libexec and /usr/local/share. Zenmap is installed as an application bundle in /Applications/Zenmap.app. Known issues: The authorization dialog that is displayed when the application is started is confusing. If the user is an administrator, it says "Zenmap requires that you type your password.", but it's not required. Selecting Cancel will run Zenmap without privileges. If the user is not an administrator, it says "Type an administrator's name and password to allow Zenmap to make changes.", but what's really being asked for low-level access to network hardware. The operating system does not provide a way to change the text on these dialogs. Changes in the test package: zenmap-4.60-test1 (April 8, 2008) Initial release. Distributed as a disk image containing the Zenmap application bundle only. nmap-4.60-test2 (April 30, 2008) Now a metapackage that installs both Nmap and Zenmap. Built against MacPorts 1.7.0, targeting Mac OS X 10.4 with the 10.4u SDK. Zenmap looks for nmap in /usr/local/bin by default. More careful escaping of configuration files allows running from a directory with spaces in the name. nmap-4.60-test3 (May 2, 2008) Fixes a syntax error with Python 2.3. This version is linked against a version of GLib that is patched to work on PowerPC. nmap-4.62-test4 (May 3, 2008) This release is built with upstream py2app, not the version that Apple distributes. The Apple version is build to run only on Mac OS X 10.5. nmap-4.62-test5 (May 8, 2008) This release is built against the X11 libraries from the 10.4u SDK. nmap-4.62-test6 (May 9, 2008) This release fixes two libraries that were being built against the 10.5 SDK: OpenSSL and Cairo. nmap-4.62-test7 (May 10, 2008) This release attempts to automatically launch X11 if it's not already running. nmap-4.62-test8 (May 20, 2008) This release prompts for a password to allow running as root. nmap-4.62-test9 (May 21, 2008) This release fixes a file name case bug that kept the application from running from a filesystem with case sensitivity enabled.
