Pretty crazy that we're closer to 2030, than we are 2005. Where did the time go!

Hello Everyone,Given that it has been five months since the last "stable" Nmaprelease (4.11 in June), I think it is time we give the mainstream Nmapusers something to play with. With the OS X problem fixed (I hope),Nmap should be in a pretty stable state as it is. So I just postedNmap 4.20RC1. Please upgrade to this and let us (the list) know ifyou find any problems.The version number for the next release is still up in the air. If Icall it 4.20, all the weed smoking nmap-hackers will love that .But the OS distributors would prefer "4.21" because their versionsorting systems may have trouble determining whether "4.20RC1" or"4.20" should be considered a later version. I'm not sure whichconstituency (stoners or Debian developers) is more important . Andwhat if the groups overlap?Like usual, one of the biggest changes in this release is a bunch ofnew OS fingerprints. Please keep the submissions coming, as that isthe limiting factor for how fast the DB grows. I'll do anotherintegration round before the stable release. As you can see, the DBis growing:Synscan (0.1): 25 signaturesSinFP (2.02): about 100 signaturesNmap Gen2 (4.20RC1): 189 signaturesXprobe2 (0.3): 225 signaturesNmap Gen1 (4.20RC1): 1,684 signaturesI hope we'll surpass Xprobe2 for the stable release! We're only 37fingerprints away from that, so every submission counts!You can find 4.20RC1 on the download page:http://insecure.org/nmap/download.htmlAnd here are the changes since A11:o Fixed (I hope) a bug related to Pcap capture on Mac OS X. Thanks to Christophe Thil for reporting the problem and to Kurt Grutzmacher and Diman Todorov for helping to track it down.o Integrated all of your OS detection submissions since ALPHA11. The DB has increased 27% to 189 signatures. Notable additions include the Apple Airport Express, Windows Vista RC1, OpenBSD 4.0, a Sony TiVo device, and tons of broadband routers, printers, switches, and Linux kernels. Keep those submissions coming!o Upgraded the included LibPCRE from version 6.4 to 6.7. Thanks to Jochen Voss (voss(a)seehuhn.de) for the suggestion (he found some bugs in 6.4)Cheers,Fyodor_______________________________________________Sent through the nmap-dev mailing listhttp://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-devArchived at http://SecLists.Org
