#Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
o [NSE][GH#1251] New script-arg `http.host` allows users to force a particular
value for the Host header in all HTTP requests.
o [NSE][GH#1258] Use smtp.domain script arg or target's domain name instead of
"example.com" in EHLO command used for STARTTLS. [gwire]
o [NSE][GH#1233] Fix brute.lua's BruteSocket wrapper, which was crashing Nmap
with an assertion failure due to socket mixup [Daniel Miller]:
nmap: nse_nsock.cc:672: int receive_buf(lua_State*, int, lua_KContext): Assertion `lua_gettop(L) == 7' failed.
o [NSE][GH#1254] Handle an error condition in smb-vuln-ms17-010 caused by IPS
closing the connection. [Clément Notin]
o [NSE] https-redirect detects HTTP servers that redirect to the same port, but
with HTTPS. Some nginx servers do this, which made ssl-* scripts not run
properly. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#1236] Added broadcast-jenkins-discover to discover Jenkins servers
on a LAN by sending a discovery broadcast probe. [Brendan Coles]
o [NSE][GH#1232] Added broadcast-hid-discoveryd to discover HID devices
on a LAN by sending a discoveryd network broadcast probe. [Brendan Coles]
o New service probe and match lines for adb, the Android Debug Bridge, which
allows remote code execution and is left enabled by default on many devices.
[Daniel Miller]
o [Ncat][GH#1237] Fixed literal IPv6 URL format for connecting through
HTTP proxies. [Phil Dibowitz]
o [NSE][GH#1212] Updates vendors from ODVA list for enip-info. [NothinRandom]
o [NSE][GH#1191] Add two common error strings that improve MySQL detection
by the script http-sql-injection. [Robert Taylor, Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE][GH#1220] Fix bug in http-vuln-cve2006-3392 that prevented the script to
generate the vulnerability report correctly. [rewardone]
o [NSE][GH#1218] Fix bug related to screen rendering in NSE library tn3270. This
patch also improves the brute force script tso-brute. [mainframed]
o [NSE][GH#1209] Fix SIP, SASL, and HTTP Digest authentication when the algorithm
contains lowercase characters. [Jeswin Mathai]
o [GH#1204] Nmap could be fooled into ignoring TCP response packets if they
used an unknown TCP Option, which would misalign the validation, causing it
to fail. [Clément Notin, Daniel Miller]
o [NSE]The HTTP response parser now tolerates status lines without a reason
phrase, which improves compatibility with some HTTP servers. [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#1169][GH#1170][GH#1171]][GH#1198] Parser for HTTP Set-Cookie header
is now more compliant with RFC 6265:
- empty attributes are tolerated
- double quotes in cookie and/or attribute values are treated literally
- attributes with empty values and value-less attributes are parsed equally
- attributes named "name" or "value" are ignored
[nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#1158] Fix parsing http-grep.match script-arg. [Hans van den Bogert]
o [Zenmap][GH#1177] Avoid a crash when recent_scans.txt cannot be written to.
[Daniel Miller]
o Fixed --resume when the path to Nmap contains spaces. Reported on Windows by
Adriel Desautels. [Daniel Miller]
Nmap 7.70 [2018-03-20]
o [Windows] We made a ton of improvements to our Npcap Windows packet
capturing library (https://nmap.org/npcap/) for greater performance and
stability, as well as smoother installer and better 802.11 raw frame
capturing support. Nmap 7.70 updates the bundled Npcap from version 0.93 to
0.99-r2, including all these changes from the last seven Npcap releases:
https://nmap.org/npcap/changelog
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
March 2017 to August 2017 (728 of them). The signature count went up 1.02%
to 11,672, including 26 new softmatches. We now detect 1224 protocols from
filenet-pch, lscp, and netassistant to sharp-remote, urbackup, and
watchguard. We will try to integrate the remaining submissions in the next
release.
o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from September 2016
to August 2017 (667 of them). Added 298 fingerprints, bringing the new total
to 5,652. Additions include iOS 11, macOS Sierra, Linux 4.14, Android 7, and
more.
o Integrated all 33 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from September
2016 to August 2017. New groups for OpenBSD 6.0 and FreeBSD 11.0 were added,
as well as strengthened groups for Linux and OS X.
o Added the --resolve-all option to resolve and scan all IP addresses of a
host. This essentially replaces the resolveall NSE script. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][SECURITY] Nmap developer nnposter found a security flaw (directory
traversal vulnerability) in the way the non-default http-fetch script
sanitized URLs. If a user manualy ran this NSE script against a malicious
web server, the server could potentially (depending on NSE arguments used)
cause files to be saved outside the intended destination directory. Existing
files couldn't be overwritten. We fixed http-fetch, audited our other
scripts to ensure they didn't make this mistake, and updated the httpspider
library API to protect against this by default. [nnposter, Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added 9 NSE scripts, from 8 authors, bringing the total up to 588!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are
below:
+ deluge-rpc-brute performs brute-force credential testing against Deluge
BitTorrent RPC services, using the new zlib library. [Claudiu Perta]
+ hostmap-crtsh lists subdomains by querying Google's Certificate
Transparency logs. [Paulino Calderon]
+ [GH#892] http-bigip-cookie decodes unencrypted F5 BIG-IP cookies and
reports back the IP address and port of the actual server behind the
load-balancer. [Seth Jackson]
+ http-jsonp-detection Attempts to discover JSONP endpoints in web servers.
JSONP endpoints can be used to bypass Same-origin Policy restrictions in
web browsers. [Vinamra Bhatia]
+ http-trane-info obtains information from Trane Tracer SC controllers and
connected HVAC devices. [Pedro Joaquin]
+ [GH#609] nbd-info uses the new nbd.lua library to query Network Block
Devices for protocol and file export information. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ rsa-vuln-roca checks for RSA keys generated by Infineon TPMs
vulnerable to Return Of Coppersmith Attack (ROCA) (CVE-2017-15361). Checks
SSH and TLS services. [Daniel Miller]
+ [GH#987] smb-enum-services retrieves the list of services running on a
remote Windows machine. Modern Windows systems requires a privileged domain
account in order to list the services. [Rewanth Cool]
+ tls-alpn checks TLS servers for Application Layer Protocol Negotiation
(ALPN) support and reports supported protocols. ALPN largely replaces NPN,
which tls-nextprotoneg was written for. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#978] Fixed Nsock on Windows giving errors when selecting on STDIN. This
was causing Ncat 7.60 in connect mode to quit with error: libnsock
select_loop(): nsock_loop error 10038: An operation was attempted on
something that is not a socket. [nnposter]
o [Ncat][GH#197][GH#1049] Fix --ssl connections from dropping on
renegotiation, the same issue that was partially fixed for server mode in
[GH#773]. Reported on Windows with -e by pkreuzt and vinod272. [Daniel
Miller]
o [NSE][GH#1062][GH#1149] Some changes to brute.lua to better handle
misbehaving or rate-limiting services. Most significantly,
brute.killstagnated now defaults to true. Thanks to xp3s and Adamtimtim for
reporing infinite loops and proposing changes.
o [NSE] VNC scripts now support Apple Remote Desktop authentication (auth type
30) [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#1111] Fix a script crash in ftp.lua when PASV connection timed out.
[Aniket Pandey]
o [NSE][GH#1114] Update bitcoin-getaddr to receive more than one response
message, since the first message usually only has one address in it. [h43z]
o [Ncat][GH#1139] Ncat now selects the correct default port for a given proxy
type. [Pavel Zhukov]
o [NSE] memcached-info can now gather information from the UDP memcached
service in addition to the TCP service. The UDP service is frequently used as
a DDoS reflector and amplifier. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#1129] Changed url.absolute() behavior with respect to dot and
dot-dot path segments to comply with RFC 3986, section 5.2. [nnposter]
o Removed deprecated and undocumented aliases for several long options that
used underscores instead of hyphens, such as --max_retries. [Daniel Miller]
o Improved service scan's treatment of soft matches in two ways. First of all,
any probes that could result in a full match with the soft matched service
will now be sent, regardless of rarity. This improves the chances of
matching unusual services on non-standard ports. Second, probes are now
skipped if they don't contain any signatures for the soft matched service.
Previously the probes would still be run as long as the target port number
matched the probe's specification. Together, these changes should make
service/version detection faster and more accurate. For more details on how
it works, see https://nmap.org/book/vscan.html. [Daniel Miller]
o --version-all now turns off the soft match optimization, ensuring that all
probes really are sent, even if there aren't any existing match lines for
the softmatched service. This is slower, but gives the most comprehensive
results and produces better fingerprints for submission. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#1083] New set of Telnet softmatches for version detection based on
Telnet DO/DON'T options offered, covering a wide variety of devices and
operating systems. [D Roberson]
o [GH#1112] Resolved crash opportunities caused by unexpected libpcap version
string format. [Gisle Vanem, nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#1090] Fix false positives in rexec-brute by checking responses for
indications of login failure. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#1099] Fix http-fetch to keep downloaded files in separate
destination directories. [Aniket Pandey]
o [NSE] Added new fingerprints to http-default-accounts:
- Hikvision DS-XXX Network Camera and NUOO DVR [Paulino Calderon]
- [GH#1074] ActiveMQ, Purestorage, and Axis Network Cameras [Rob Fitzpatrick, Paulino Calderon]
o Added a new service detection match for WatchGuard Authentication Gateway.
[Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE][GH#1038][GH#1037] Script qscan was not observing interpacket delays
(parameter qscan.delay). [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#1046] Script http-headers now fails properly if the target does not
return a valid HTTP response. [spacewander]
o [Ncat][Nsock][GH#972] Remove RC4 from the list of TLS ciphers used by
default, in accordance with RFC 7465. [Codarren Velvindron]
o [NSE][GH#1022] Fix a false positive condition in ipmi-cipher-zero caused by
not checking the error code in responses. Implementations which return an
error are not vulnerable. [Juho Jokelainen]
o [NSE][GH#958] Two new libraries for NSE.
- idna - Support for internationalized domain names in applications (IDNA)
- punycode (a transfer encoding syntax used in IDNA)
[Rewanth Cool]
o [NSE] New fingerprints for http-enum:
- [GH#954] Telerik UI CVE-2017-9248 [Harrison Neal]
- [GH#767] Many WordPress version detections [Rewanth Cool]
o [GH#981][GH#984][GH#996][GH#975] Fixed Ncat proxy authentication issues:
- Usernames and/or passwords could not be empty
- Passwords could not contain colons
- SOCKS5 authentication was not properly documented
- SOCKS5 authentication had a memory leak
[nnposter]
o [GH#1009][GH#1013] Fixes to autoconf header files to allow autoreconf to be
run. [Lukas Schwaighofer]
o [GH#977] Improved DNS service version detection coverage and consistency
by using data from a Project Sonar Internet wide survey. Numerouse false
positives were removed and reliable softmatches added. Match lines for
version.bind responses were also conslidated using the technique below.
[Tom Sellers]
o [GH#977] Changed version probe fallbacks so as to work cross protocol
(TCP/UDP). This enables consolidating match lines for services where the
responses on TCP and UDP are similar. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE][GH#532] Added the zlib library for NSE so scripts can easily
handle compression. This work started during GSOC 2014, so we're
particularly pleased to finally integrate it! [Claudiu Perta, Daniel
Miller]
o [NSE][GH#1004] Fixed handling of brute.retries variable. It was being treated
as the number of tries, not retries, and a value of 0 would result in
infinite retries. Instead, it is now the number of retries, defaulting to 2
(3 total tries), with no option for infinite retries.
o [NSE] http-devframework-fingerprints.lua supports Jenkins server detection
and returns extra information when Jenkins is detected [Vinamra Bhatia]
o [GH#926] The rarity level of MS SQL's service detection probe was decreased.
Now we can find MS SQL in odd ports without increasing version intensity.
[Paulino Calderon]
o [GH#957] Fix reporting of zlib and libssh2 versions in "nmap --version". We
were always reporting the version number of the included source, even when a
different version was actually linked. [Pavel Zhukov]
o Add a new helper function for nmap-service-probes match lines: $I(1,">") will
unpack an unsigned big-endian integer value up to 8 bytes wide from capture
1. The second option can be "<" for little-endian. [Daniel Miller]
Nmap 7.60 [2017-07-31]
o [Windows] Updated the bundled Npcap from 0.91 to 0.93, fixing several issues
with installation and compatibility with the Windows 10 Creators Update.
o [NSE][GH#910] NSE scripts now have complete SSH support via libssh2,
including password brute-forcing and running remote commands, thanks to the
combined efforts of three Summer of Code students: [Devin Bjelland, Sergey
Khegay, Evangelos Deirmentzoglou]
o [NSE] Added 14 NSE scripts from 6 authors, bringing the total up to 579!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below:
+ ftp-syst sends SYST and STAT commands to FTP servers to get system version
and connection information. [Daniel Miller]

Timorin, Daniel Miller]
+ [GH#915] openwebnet-discovery retrieves device identifying information and
number of connected devices running on openwebnet protocol. [Rewanth Cool]
+ puppet-naivesigning checks for a misconfiguration in the Puppet CA where
naive signing is enabled, allowing for any CSR to be automatically signed.
[Wong Wai Tuck]
+ [GH#943] smb-protocols discovers if a server supports dialects NT LM 0.12
(SMBv1), 2.02, 2.10, 3.00, 3.02 and 3.11. This replaces the old
smbv2-enabled script. [Paulino Calderon]
+ [GH#943] smb2-capabilities lists the supported capabilities of SMB2/SMB3
servers. [Paulino Calderon]
+ [GH#943] smb2-time determines the current date and boot date of SMB2

+ [GH#943] smb2-vuln-uptime attempts to discover missing critical patches in
Microsoft Windows systems based on the SMB2 server uptime. [Paulino Calderon]
+ ssh-auth-methods lists the authentication methods offered by an SSH server.
[Devin Bjelland]
+ ssh-brute performs brute-forcing of SSH password credentials. [Devin Bjelland]
+ ssh-publickey-acceptance checks public or private keys to see if they could
be used to log in to a target. A list of known-compromised key pairs is
included and checked by default. [Devin Bjelland]
+ ssh-run uses user-provided credentials to run commands on targets via SSH.
[Devin Bjelland]
o [NSE] Removed smbv2-enabled, which was incompatible with the new SMBv2/3
improvements. It was fully replaced by the smb-protocols script.
o [Ncat][GH#446] Added Datagram TLS (DTLS) support to Ncat in connect (client)
mode with --udp --ssl. Also added Application Layer Protocol Negotiation
(ALPN) support with the --ssl-alpn option. [Denis Andzakovic, Daniel Miller]
o Updated the default ciphers list for Ncat and the secure ciphers list for
Nsock to use "!aNULL:!eNULL" instead of "!ADH". With the addition of ECDH
ciphersuites, anonymous ECDH suites were being allowed. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#930] Fix ndmp-version and ndmp-fs-info when scanning Veritas Backup
Exec Agent 15 or 16. [Andrew Orr]
o [NSE][GH#943] Added new SMB2/3 library and related scripts. [Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE][GH#950] Added wildcard detection to dns-brute. Only hostnames that
resolve to unique addresses will be listed. [Aaron Heesakkers]
o [NSE] FTP scripts like ftp-anon and ftp-brute now correctly handle
TLS-protected FTP services and use STARTTLS when necessary. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#936] Function url.escape no longer encodes so-called "unreserved"
characters, including hyphen, period, underscore, and tilde, as per RFC 3986.
[nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#935] Function http.pipeline_go no longer assumes that persistent
connections are supported on HTTP 1.0 target (unless the target explicitly
declares otherwise), as per RFC 7230. [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#934] The HTTP response object has a new member, version, which
contains the HTTP protocol version string returned by the server, e.g. "1.0".
[nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#938] Fix handling of the objectSID Active Directory attribute
by ldap.lua. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE] Fix line endings in the list of Oracle SIDs used by oracle-sid-brute.
Carriage Return characters were being sent in the connection packets, likely
resulting in failure of the script. [Anant Shrivastava]
o [NSE][GH#141] http-useragent-checker now checks for changes in HTTP status
(usually 403 Forbidden) in addition to redirects to indicate forbidden User
Agents. [Gyanendra Mishra]
Nmap 7.50 [2017-06-13]
o [Windows] Updated the bundled Npcap from 0.78 to 0.91, with several bugfixes
for WiFi connectivity problems and stability issues. [Daniel Miller, Yang Luo]
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
September to March (855 of them). The signature count went up 2.9% to 11,418.
We now detect 1193 protocols from apachemq, bro, and clickhouse to jmon,
slmp, and zookeeper. Highlights: https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2017/q2/140
o [NSE] Added 14 NSE scripts from 12 authors, bringing the total up to 566!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below:
+ [GH#743] broadcast-ospf2-discover discovers OSPF 2 routers and neighbors.
OSPFv2 authentication is supported. [Emiliano Ticci]
+ [GH#671] cics-info checks IBM TN3270 services for CICS transaction services
and extracts useful information. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ [GH#671] cics-user-brute does brute-force enumeration of CICS usernames on
IBM TN3270 services. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ [GH#669] http-cookie-flags checks HTTP session cookies for HTTPOnly and
Secure flags. [Steve Benson]
+ http-security-headers checks for the HTTP response headers related to
security given in OWASP Secure Headers Project, giving a brief description
of the header and its configuration value. [Vinamra Bhatia, Ícaro Torres]
+ [GH#740][GH#759] http-vuln-cve2017-5638 checks for the RCE bug in Apache
Struts2. [Seth Jackson]
+ [GH#876] http-vuln-cve2017-5689 detects a privilege escalation
vulnerability (INTEL-SA-00075) in Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)
capable systems. [Andrew Orr]
+ http-vuln-cve2017-1001000 detects a privilege escalation vulnerability in
Wordpress 4.7.0 and 4.7.1 (CVE-2017-1001000) [Vinamra Bhatia]
+ [GH#713] impress-remote-discover attempts to pair with the LibreOffice
Impress presentation remote service and extract version info. Pairing is
PIN-protected, and the script can optionally brute-force the PIN. New
service probe and match line also added. [Jeremy Hiebert]
+ [GH#854] smb-double-pulsar-backdoor detects the Shadow Brokers-leaked
Double Pulsar backdoor in Windows SMB servers. [Andrew Orr]
+ smb-vuln-cve-2017-7494 detects a remote code execution vulnerability
affecting Samba versions 3.5.0 and greater with writable shares.
[Wong Wai Tuck]
+ smb-vuln-ms17-010 detects a critical remote code execution vulnerability
affecting SMBv1 servers in Microsoft Windows systems (ms17-010). The
script also reports patched systems. [Paulino Calderon]
+ [GH#686] tls-ticketbleed checks for the Ticketbleed vulnerability
(CVE-2016-9244) in F5 BIG-IP appliances. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ vmware-version queries VMWare SOAP API for version and product information.
Submitted in 2011, this was mistakenly turned into a service probe that was
unable to elicit any matches. [Aleksey Tyurin]
o [Ncat] A series of changes and fixes based on feedback from the Red Hat community:
+ [GH#157] Ncat will now continue trying to connect to each resolved address
for a hostname before declaring the connection refused, allowing it to
fallback from IPv6 to IPv4 or to connect to names that use DNS failover.
[Jaromir Koncicky, Michal Hlavinka]
+ The --no-shutdown option now also works in connect mode, not only in listen mode.
+ Made -i/--idle-timeout not cause Ncat in server mode to close while
waiting for an initial connection. This was also causing -i to interfere
with the HTTP proxy server mode. [Carlos Manso, Daniel Miller]
+ [GH#773] Ncat in server mode properly handles TLS renegotiations and other
situations where SSL_read returns a non-fatal error. This was causing
SSL-over-TCP connections to be dropped. [Daniel Miller]
+ Enable --ssl-ciphers to be used with Ncat in client mode, not only in
server (listen) mode. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] New fingerprints for http-enum:
- Endpoints for Spring MVC and Boot Actuator [Paulino Calderon]
- [GH#620][GH#715] 8 fingerprints for Hadoop infrastructure components
[Thomas Debize, Varunram Ganesh]
o [NSE][GH#266][GH#704][GH#238][GH#883] NSE libraries smb and msrpc now use
fully qualified paths. SMB scripts now work against all modern versions
of Microsoft Windows. [Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE] smb library's share_get_list now properly uses anonymous connections
first before falling back authenticating as a known user.
o New service probes and matches for Apache HBase and Hadoop MapReduce.
[Paulino Calderon]
o Extended Memcached service probe and added match for Apache ZooKeeper.
[Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE] New script argument "vulns.short" will reduce vulns library script
output to a single line containing the target name or IP, the vulnerability
state, and the CVE ID or title of the vulnerability. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#862] SNMP scripts will now take a community string provided like
`--script-args creds.snmp=private`, which previously did not work because it
was interpreted as a username. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Resolved several issues in the default HTTP redirect rules:
- [GH#826] A redirect is now cancelled if the original URL contains
embedded credentials
- [GH#829] A redirect test is now more careful in determining whether
a redirect destination is related to the original host
- [GH#830] A redirect is now more strict in avoiding possible redirect
loops
[nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#766] The HTTP Host header will now include the port unless it is
the default one for a given scheme. [nnposter]
o [NSE] The HTTP response object has a new member, fragment, which contains
a partially received body (if any) when the overall request fails to
complete. [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#866] NSE now allows cookies to have arbitrary attributes, which
are silently ignored (in accordance with RFC 6265). Unrecognized attributes
were previously causing HTTP requests with such cookies to fail. [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#844] NSE now correctly parses a Set-Cookie header that has unquoted
whitespace in the cookie value (which is allowed per RFC 6265). [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#731] NSE is now able to process HTTP responses with a Set-Cookie
header that has an extraneous trailing semicolon. [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#708] TLS SNI now works correctly for NSE HTTP requests initiated
with option any_af. As an added benefit, option any_af is now available for
all connections via comm.lua, not just HTTP requests. [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#781] There is a new common function, url.get_default_port(),
to obtain the default port number for a given scheme. [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#833] Function url.parse() now returns the port part as a number,
not a string. [nnposter]
o No longer allow ICMP Time Exceeded messages to mark a host as down during
host discovery. Running traceroute at the same time as Nmap was causing
interference. [David Fifield]
o [NSE][GH#807] Fixed a JSON library issue that was causing long integers
to be expressed in the scientific/exponent notation. [nnposter]
o [NSE] Fixed several potential hangs in NSE scripts that used
receive_buf(pattern), which will not return if the service continues to send
data that does not match pattern. A new function in match.lua, pattern_limit,
is introduced to limit the number of bytes consumed while searching for the
pattern. [Daniel Miller, Jacek Wielemborek]
o [Nsock] Handle any and all socket connect errors the same: raise as an Nsock
error instead of fatal. This prevents Nmap and Ncat from quitting with
"Strange error from connect:" [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added several commands to redis-info to extract listening addresses,
connected clients, active channels, and cluster nodes. [Vasiliy Kulikov]
o [NSE][GH#679][GH#681] Refreshed script http-robtex-reverse-ip, reflecting
changes at the source site (www.robtex.com). [aDoN]
o [NSE][GH#629] Added two new fingerprints to http-default-accounts
(APC Management Card, older NetScreen ScreenOS) [Steve Benson, nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#716] Fix for oracle-tns-version which was sending an invalid TNS
probe due to a string escaping mixup. [Alexandr Savca]
o [NSE][GH#694] ike-version now outputs information about supported attributes
and unknown vendor ids. Also, a new fingerprint for FortiGate VPNs was
submitted by Alexis La Goutte. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#700] Enabled support for TLS SNI on the Windows platform. [nnposter]
o [GH#649] New service probe and match lines for the JMON and RSE services of
IBM Explorer for z/OS. [Soldier of Fortran]
o Removed a duplicate service probe for Memcached added in 2011 (the original
probe was added in 2008) and reported as duplicate in 2013 by Pavel Kankovsky.
o New service probe and match line for NoMachine NX Server remote desktop.
[Justin Cacak]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a recurring installation problem on OS X/macOS where Zenmap
was installed to /Applications/Applications/Zenmap.app instead of
/Applications/Zenmap.app.
o [Zenmap][GH#639] Zenmap will no longer crash when no suitable temporary
directory is found. Patches contributed by [Varunram Ganesh] and [Sai Sundhar]
o [Zenmap][GH#626] Zenmap now properly handles the -v0 (no output) option,
which was added in Nmap 7.10. Previously, this was treated the same as not
specifying -v at all. [lymanZerga11]
o [GH#630] Updated or removed some OpenSSL library calls that were deprecated
in OpenSSL 1.1. [eroen]
o [NSE] Script ssh-hostkey now recognizes and reports Ed25519 keys [nnposter]
o [NSE][GH#627] Fixed script hang in several brute scripts due to the "threads"
script-arg not being converted to a number. Error message was
"nselib/brute.lua:1188: attempt to compare number with string" [Arne Beer]
Nmap 7.40 [2016-12-20]
o [Windows] Updated the bundled Npcap from 0.10r9 to 0.78r5, with an
improved installer experience, driver signing updates to work with
Windows 10 build 1607, and bugfixes for WiFi connectivity
problems. [Yang Luo, Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from April to
September (568 of them). Added 149 fingerprints, bringing the new total to
5,336. Additions include Linux 4.6, macOS 10.12 Sierra, NetBSD 7.0, and more.
Highlights: https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q4/110 [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
April to September (779 of them). The signature count went up 3.1% to 11,095.
We now detect 1161 protocols, from airserv-ng, domaintime, and mep to
nutcracker, rhpp, and usher. Highlights: https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q4/115
[Daniel Miller]
o Fix reverse DNS on Windows which was failing with the message "mass_dns:
warning: Unable to determine any DNS servers." This was because the interface
GUID comparison needed to be case-insensitive. [Robert Croteau]
o [NSE] Added 12 NSE scripts from 4 authors, bringing the total up to 552!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below:
+ cics-enum enumerates CICS transaction IDs, mapping to screens in TN3270
services. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ cics-user-enum brute-forces usernames for CICS users on TN3270 services.
[Soldier of Fortran]
+ fingerprint-strings will print the ASCII strings it finds in the service
fingerprints that Nmap shows for unidentified services. [Daniel Miller]
+ [GH#606] ip-geolocation-map-bing renders IP geolocation data as an image
via Bing Maps API. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ [GH#606] ip-geolocation-map-google renders IP geolocation data as an image
via Google Maps API. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ [GH#606] ip-geolocation-map-kml records IP geolocation data in a KML file
for import into other mapping software [Mak Kolybabi]
+ nje-pass-brute brute-forces the password to a NJE node, given a valid RHOST
and OHOST. Helpfully, nje-node-brute can now brute force both of those
values. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ [GH#557] ssl-cert-intaddr will search for private IP addresses in TLS
certificate fields and extensions. [Steve Benson]
+ tn3270-screen shows the login screen from mainframe TN3270 Telnet services,
including any hidden fields. The script is accompanied by the new tn3270
library. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ tso-enum enumerates usernames for TN3270 Telnet services. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ tso-brute brute-forces passwords for TN3270 Telnet services. [Soldier of Fortran]
+ vtam-enum brute-forces VTAM application IDs for TN3270 services.
[Soldier of Fortran]
o [NSE][GH#518] Brute scripts are faster and more accurate. New feedback and
adaptivity mechanisms in brute.lua help brute scripts use resources more
efficiently, dynamically changing number of threads based on protocol
messages like FTP 421 errors, network errors like timeouts, etc.
[Sergey Khegay]
o [GH#353] New option --defeat-icmp-ratelimit dramatically reduces UDP scan
times in exchange for labeling unresponsive (and possibly open) ports as
"closed|filtered". Ports which give a UDP protocol response to one of Nmap's
scanning payloads will be marked "open". [Sergey Khegay]
o [NSE][GH#533] Removed ssl-google-cert-catalog, since Google shut off that
service at some point. Reported by Brian Morin.
o [NSE][GH#606] New NSE library, geoip.lua, provides a common framework for
storing and retrieving IP geolocation results. [Mak Kolybabi]
o [Ncat] Restore the connection success message that Ncat prints with -v. This
was accidentally suppressed when not using -z.
o [GH#316] Added scan resume from Nmap's XML output. Now you can --resume a
canceled scan from all 3 major output formats: -oN, -oG, and -oX.
[Tudor Emil Coman]
o [Ndiff][GH#591] Fix a bug where hosts with the same IP but different
hostnames were shown as changing hostnames between scans. Made sort stable
with regard to hostnames. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#540] Add tls.servername script-arg for forcing a name to be used for
TLS Server Name Indication extension. The argument overrides the default use
of the host's targetname. [Bertrand Bonnefoy-Claudet]
o [GH#505] Updated Russian translation of Zenmap by Alexander Kozlov.
o [NSE][GH#588] Fix a crash in smb.lua when using smb-ls due to a
floating-point number being passed to os.time ("bad argument").
[Dallas Winger]
o [NSE][GH#596] Fix a bug in mysql.lua that caused authentication failures in
mysql-brute and other scripts due to including a null terminator in the salt
value. This bug affects Nmap 7.25BETA2 and later releases. [Daniel Miller]
o The --open option now implies --defeat-rst-ratelimit. This may result in
inaccuracies in the numbers of "Not shown:" closed and filtered ports, but
only in situations where it also speeds up scan times. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added known Diffie-Hellman parameters for haproxy, postfix, and
IronPort to ssl-dh-params. [Frank Bergmann]
o Added service probe for ClamAV servers (clam),
an open source antivirus engine used in mail scanning. [Paulino Calderon]
o Added service probe and UDP payload for Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC),
a secure transport developed by Google and used with HTTP/2. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Enabled resolveall to run against any target provided as a hostname, so
the resolveall.hosts script-arg is no longer required. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Revised script http-default-accounts in several ways [nnposter]:
- Added 21 new fingerprints, plus broadened 5 to cover more variants.
- [GH#577] It can now can test systems that return status 200 for
non-existent pages.
- [GH#604] Implemented XML output. Layout of the classic text output has also
changed, including reporting blank usernames or passwords as "<blank>",
instead of just empty strings.
- Added CPE entries to individual fingerprints (where known). They are
reported only in the XML output.
o [NSE][GH#573] Updated http.lua to allow processing of HTTP responses with
malformed header names. Such header lines are still captured in the rawheader
list but skipped otherwise. [nnposter]
o [GH#416] New service probe and match line for iperf3. [Eric Gershman]
o [NSE][GH#555] Add Drupal to the set of web apps brute forced by
http-form-brute. [Nima Ghotbi]
Nmap 7.31 [2016-10-20]
o [Windows] Updated the bundled Npcap from 0.10r2 to 0.10r9, bringing
increased stability, bug fixes, and raw 802.11 WiFi capture (unused
by Nmap). Further details on these changes can be found at
https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases. [Yang Luo]
o Fixed the way Nmap handles scanning names that resolve to the same IP. Due to
changes in 7.30, the IP was only being scanned once, with bogus results
displayed for the other names. The previous behavior is now restored.
[Tudor Emil Coman]
o [Nping][GH#559] Fix Nping's ability to use Npcap on Windows. A privilege
check was performed too late, so the Npcap loading code assumed the user had no
rights. [Yang Luo, Daniel Miller]
o [GH#350] Fix an assertion failure due to floating point error in equality
comparison, which triggered mainly on OpenBSD:
assertion "diff <= interval" failed: file "timing.cc", line 440
This was reported earlier as [GH#472] but the assertion fixed there was a
different one. [David Carlier]
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash in the About page in the Spanish translation due to a
missing format specifier:
File "zenmapGUI\About.pyo", line 217, in __init__
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
[Daniel Miller]
o [Zenmap][GH#556] Better visual indication that display of hostname is tied to
address in the Topology page. You can show numeric addresses with hostnames
or without, but you can't show hostnames without numeric addresses when they
are not available. [Daniel Miller]
o To increase the number of IPv6 fingerprint submissions, a prompt for
submission will be shown with some random chance for successful matches of OS
classes that are based on only a few submissions. Previously, only
unsuccessful matches produced such a prompt. [Daniel Miller]
Nmap 7.30 [2016-09-29]
o Integrated all 12 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from June to
September. No new groups, but several classifications were strengthened,
especially Windows localhost and OS X. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added 7 NSE scripts, from 3 authors, bringing the total up to 541!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below
(authors are listed in brackets):
+ [GH#369] coap-resources grabs the list of available resources from CoAP
endpoints. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ fox-info retrieves detailed version and configuration info from Tridium
Niagara Fox services. [Stephen Hilt]
+ ipmi-brute performs authentication brute-forcing on IPMI services.
[Claudiu Perta]
+ ipmi-cipher-zero checks IPMI services for Cipher Zero support, which allows
connection without a password. [Claudiu Perta]
+ ipmi-version retrieves protocol version and authentication options from
ASF-RMCP (IPMI) services. [Claudiu Perta]
+ [GH#352] mqtt-subscribe connects to a MQTT broker, subscribes to topics,
and lists the messages received. [Mak Kolybabi]
+ pcworx-info retrieves PLC model, firmware version, and date from Phoenix
Contact PLCs. [Stephen Hilt]
o Upgraded Npcap, our new Windows packet capturing driver/library,
from version to 0.09 to 0.10r2. This includes many bug fixes, with a
particular on emphasis on concurrency issues discovered by running
hundreds of Nmap instances at a time. More details are available
from https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases. [Yang Luo, Daniel
Miller, Fyodor]
o New service probes and match lines for DTLS, IPMI-RMCP, MQTT, PCWorx,
ProConOS, and Tridium Fox, [Stephen Hilt, Mak Kolybabi, Daniel Miller]
o Improved some output filtering to remove or escape carriage returns ('\r')
that could allow output spoofing by overwriting portions of the screen. Issue
reported by Adam Rutherford. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Fixed a few bad Lua patterns that could result in denial of service due
to excessive backtracking. [Adam Rutherford, Daniel Miller]
o Fixed a discrepancy between the number of targets selected with -iR and the
number of hosts scanned, resulting in output like "Nmap done: 1033 IP
addresses" when the user specified -iR 1000. [Daniel Miller]
o Fixed a bug in port specification parsing that could cause extraneous
'T', 'U', 'S', and 'P' characters to be ignored when they should have
caused an error. [David Fifield]
o [GH#543] Restored compatibility with LibreSSL, which was lost in adding
library version checks for OpenSSL 1.1. [Wonko7]
o [Zenmap] Fixed a bug in the Compare Scans window of Zenmap on OS X resulting
in this message instead of Ndiff output:
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/datetime.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/datetime.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
Reported by Kyle Gustafson. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Fixed a bug in ssl-enum-ciphers and ssl-dh-params which caused them to
not output TLSv1.2 info with DHE ciphersuites or others involving
ServerKeyExchange messages. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added X509v3 extension parsing to NSE's sslcert code. ssl-cert now
shows the Subject Alternative Name extension; all extensions are shown in the
XML output. [Daniel Miller]
Nmap 7.25BETA2 [2016-09-01]
o [GH#376] Windows binaries are now code-signed with our "Insecure.Com LLC"
SHA256 certificate. This should give our users extra peace-of-mind and avoid
triggering Microsoft's ever-increasing security warnings.
o [NSE] Upgraded NSE to Lua 5.3, adding bitwise operators, integer data type, a
utf8 library, and native binary packing and unpacking functions. Removed bit
library, added bits.lua, replaced base32, base64, and bin libraries. [Patrick
Donnelly]
o [NSE] Added 2 NSE scripts, bringing the total up to 534! They are both listed
at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below:
+ oracle-tns-version decodes the version number from Oracle Database Server's
TNS listener. [Daniel Miller]
+ clock-skew analyzes and reports clock skew between Nmap and services that
report timestamps, grouping hosts with similar skews. [Daniel Miller]
o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints submitted from
January to April (578 of them). The signature count went up 2.2% to 10760.
We now detect 1122 protocols, from elasticsearch, fhem, and goldengate to
ptcp, resin-watchdog, and siemens-logo. [Daniel Miller]
o Upgraded Npcap, our new Windows packet capturing driver/library,
from version 0.07-r17 to 0.09. This includes many improvements you can
read about at https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases.
o [Nsock][GH#148] Added the new IOCP Nsock engine which uses the Windows
Overlapped I/O API to improve performance of version scan and NSE against
many targets on Windows. [Tudor Emil Coman]
o [GH#376] Windows binaries are now code-signed with our "Insecure.Com LLC"
SHA256 certificate. This should give our users extra peace-of-mind and avoid
triggering Microsoft's ever-increasing security warnings.
o Various performance improvements for large-scale high-rate scanning,
including increased ping host groups, faster probe matching, and ensuring
data types can handle an Internet's-worth of targets. [Tudor Emil Coman]
o [NSE] Added the oracle-tns-version NSE script which decodes the version
number from Oracle Database Server's TNS
listener. https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/oracle-tns-version.html [Daniel
Miller]
o [NSE] Added the clock-skew NSE script which analyzes and reports clock skew
between Nmap and services that report timestamps, grouping hosts with
similar skews. https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/clock-skew.html [Daniel
Miller]
o [Zenmap] Long-overdue Spanish language translation has been added! Muy bien!
[Vincent Dumont, Marta Garcia De La Paz, Paulino Calderon, Patricio Castagnaro]
o [Zenmap][GH#449] Fix a crash when closing Zenmap due to a read-only
zenmap.conf. User will be warned that config cannot be saved and that they
should fix the file permissions. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Fix a crash when parsing TLS certificates that OpenSSL doesn't support,
like DH certificates or corrupted certs. When this happens, ssl-enum-ciphers
will label the ciphersuite strength as "unknown." Reported by Bertrand
Bonnefoy-Claudet. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#531] Fix two issues in sslcert.lua that prevented correct operations
against LDAP services when version detection or STARTTLS were used.
[Tom Sellers]
o [GH#426] Remove a workaround for lack of selectable pcap file descriptors on
Windows, which required including pcap-int.h and locking us to a single
version of libpcap. The new method, using WaitForSingleObject should work
with all versions of both WinPcap and Npcap. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE][GH#234] Added a --script-timeout option for limiting run time for
every individual NSE script. [Abhishek Singh]
o [Ncat][GH#444] Added a -z option to Ncat. Just like the -z option in
traditional netcat, it can be used to quickly check the status of a
port. Port ranges are not supported since we recommend a certain other tool
for port scanning. [Abhishek Singh]
o Fix checking of Npcap/WinPcap presence on Windows so that "nmap -A" and
"nmap" with no options result in the same behaviors as on Linux (and no
crashes) [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] ssl-enum-ciphers will now warn about 64-bit block ciphers in CBC mode,
which are vulnerable to the SWEET32 attack.
o [NSE][GH#117] tftp-enum now only brute-forces IP-address-based Cisco filenames when
the wordlist contains "{cisco}". Previously, custom wordlists would still end
up sending these extra 256 requests. [Sriram Raghunathan]
o [GH#472] Avoid an unnecessary assert failure in timing.cc when printing estimated
completion time. Instead, we'll output a diagnostic error message:
Timing error: localtime(n) is NULL
where "n" is some number that is causing problems. [Jean-Guilhem Nousse]
o [NSE][GH#519] Removed the obsolete script ip-geolocation-geobytes. [Paulino Calderon]
o [NSE] Added 9 new fingerprints for script http-default-accounts.
(Motorola AP, Lantronix print server, Dell iDRAC6, HP StorageWorks, Zabbix,
Schneider controller, Xerox printer, Citrix NetScaler, ESXi hypervisor)
[nnposter]
o [NSE] Completed a refresh and validation of almost all fingerprints for
script http-default-accounts. Also improved the script speed. [nnposter]
o [GH#98] Added support for decoys in IPv6. Earlier we supported decoys only in
IPv4. [Abhishek Singh]
o Various performance improvements for large-scale high-rate scanning,
including increased ping host groups, faster probe matching, and ensuring
data types can handle an Internet's-worth of targets. [Tudor Emil Coman]
o [GH#484] Allow Nmap to compile on some older Red Hat distros that disable EC
crypto support in OpenSSL. [Jeroen Roovers, Vincent Dumont]
o [GH#439] Nmap now supports OpenSSL 1.1.0-pre5 and previous versions. [Vincent Dumont]
o [Ncat] Fix a crash ("add_fdinfo() failed.") when --exec was used with --ssl
and --max-conns, due to improper accounting of file descriptors. [Daniel
Miller]
o FTP Bounce scan: improved some edge cases like anonymous login without
password, 500 errors used to indicate port closed, and timeouts for LIST
command. Also fixed a 1-byte array overrun (read) when checking for
privileged ports. [Daniel Miller]
o [GH#140] Allow target DNS names up to 254 bytes. We previously imposed an
incorrect limit of 64 bytes in several parts of Nmap. [Vincent Dumont]
o [NSE] The hard limit on number of concurrently running scripts can now
increase above 1000 to match a high user-set --min-parallelism value. [Tudor
Emil Coman]
o [NSE] Solved a memory corruption issue that would happen if a socket connect
operation produced an error immediately, such as Network Unreachable. The
event handler was throwing a Lua error, preventing Nsock from cleaning up
properly, leaking events. [Abhishek Singh, Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] Added the datetime library for performing date and time calculations,
and as a helper to the clock-skew script.
o [GH#103][GH#364] Made Nmap's parallel reverse DNS resolver more robust, fully
handling truncated replies. If a response is too long, we now fall back to
using the system resolver to answer it. [Abhishek Singh]
o [Zenmap][GH#279] Added a legend for the Topography window. [Suraj Hande]
Nmap 7.25BETA1 [2016-07-15]
o Nmap now ships with and uses Npcap, our new packet sniffing library
for Windows. It's based on WinPcap (unmaintained for years), but
uses modern Windows APIs for better performance. It also includes
security improvements and many bug fixes. See https://npcap.org. And
it enables Nmap to perform SYN scans and OS detection against
localhost, which we haven't been able to do on Windows since
Microsoft removed the raw sockets API in 2003. [Yang Luo, Daniel
Miller, Fyodor]
o [NSE] Added 6 NSE scripts, from 5 authors, bringing the total up to 533!
