Nmap is een programma voor het verkennen en controleren van een netwerk. Het is ontworpen om zonder vertragingen een groot netwerk te scannen en werkt ook zonder problemen op een enkele host. Het programma maakt gebruik van 'raw ip packets' om actieve hosts en informatie over de beschikbare services te achterhalen. Meer informatie over de mogelijkheden is te vinden op deze pagina. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 7.00 uitgebracht, voorzien van de volgende aankondiging op de mailinglijst:
Nmap 7 Released!
Hi folks! After 3.5 years of work by more than 100 contributors and 3,200 code commits since Nmap 6, we're delighted to announce Nmap 7! Compared to Nmap 6, we now have 171 new NSE scripts, mature IPv6 support for everything from host discovery to port scanning to OS detection, better infrastructure, significant performance improvements, and a lot more!
For the top 7 improvements in Nmap 7, see the release notes.
Or you can go straight to the download page to grab the source code or the Linux, Mac, and Windows installers.
Enjoy the release! And if you find any bugs, let us know on the dev list as described at https://nmap.org/book/man-bugs.html.
As an open source project, we don't have a marketing budget. So please help spread the word about the new release! I encounter many folks at security conferences who haven't heard about all the modern Nmap capabilities and still just use it as a simple port scanner. Folks who don't use (or at least know about) NSE, Ncat, Nping, Zenmap, Ndiff, version detection and IPv6 scanning are really missing out! We're hoping to soon add Npcap to the mix too--so stay tuned for that!
Cheers,
Fyodor
