7.80:
Here is the full list of significant changes:
o [Windows] The Npcap Windows packet capturing library (https://npcap.org/)
is faster and more stable than ever. Nmap 7.80 updates the bundled Npcap
from version 0.99-r2 to 0.9982, including all of these changes from the
last 15 Npcap releases: https://nmap.org/npcap/changelog
o [NSE] Added 11 NSE scripts, from 8 authors, bringing the total up to 598!
They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are
below:
+ broadcast-hid-discoveryd discovers HID devices on a LAN by
sending a discoveryd network broadcast probe.
+ broadcast-jenkins-discover discovers Jenkins servers on a LAN
by sending a discovery broadcast probe.
+ http-hp-ilo-info extracts information from HP
Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) servers.
+ http-sap-netweaver-leak detects SAP Netweaver Portal with the
Knowledge Management Unit enabled with anonymous access.
+ 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.
+ lu-enum enumerates Logical Units (LU) of TN3270E servers.
+ rdp-ntlm-info extracts Windows domain information from RDP
services.
+ smb-vuln-webexec checks whether the WebExService is installed and allows
code execution.
+ smb-webexec-exploit exploits the WebExService to run arbitrary commands
with SYSTEM privileges.
+ ubiquiti-discovery extracts information from the Ubiquiti
Discovery service and assists version detection.
+ vulners queries the Vulners CVE database API using CPE
information from Nmap's service and application version detection.
o Use pcap_create instead of pcap_live_open in
Nmap, and set immediate mode on the pcap descriptor. This solves packet
loss problems on Linux and may improve performance on other platforms.
o [NSE] Collected utility functions for string processing into a new
library, stringaux.lua.
o [NSE] New rand.lua library uses the best sources of random available on
the system to generate random strings.
o [NSE] New library, oops.lua, makes reporting errors easy, with plenty of
debugging detail when needed, and no clutter when not.
o [NSE] Collected utility functions for manipulating and searching tables
into a new library, tableaux.lua.
o [NSE] New knx.lua library holds common functions and definitions for
communicating with KNX/Konnex devices.
o [NSE] The HTTP library now provides transparent support for gzip-
encoded response body. (See https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/1571 for an
overview.)
o [Nsock][Ncat] Add AF_VSOCK (Linux VM sockets) functionality to
Nsock and Ncat. VM sockets are used for communication between virtual
machines and the hypervisor.
o [Security][Windows] Address CVE-2019-1552 in OpenSSL by building with the
prefix "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nmap\OpenSSL". This should prevent
unauthorized users from modifying OpenSSL defaults by writing
configuration to this directory.
o [Security] Reduced LibPCRE resource limits so that
version detection can't use as much of the stack. Previously Nmap could
crash when run on low-memory systems against target services which are
intentionally or accidentally difficult to match. Someone assigned
CVE-2018-15173 for this issue.
o Deprecate and disable the -PR (ARP ping) host discovery
option. ARP ping is already used whenever possible, and the -PR option
would not force it to be used in any other case.
o [NSE] bin.lua is officially deprecated. Lua 5.3, added 2 years ago in Nmap
7.25BETA2, has native support for binary data packing via string.pack and
string.unpack. All existing scripts and libraries have been updated.
o [NSE] Completely removed the bit.lua NSE library. All of its functions are
replaced by native Lua bitwise operations, except for `arshift`
(arithmetic shift) which has been moved to the bits.lua library. [Daniel
Miller]
o [NSE] The HTTP library is now enforcing a size limit on the
received response body. The default limit can be adjusted with a script
argument, which applies to all scripts, and can be overridden case-by-case
with an HTTP request option. (See https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/1571
for details.)
o [NSE] CR characters are no longer treated as illegal in script
XML output.
o Allow resuming nmap scan with lengthy command line [Clément
Notin]
o [NSE] Add TLS support to rdp-enum-encryption. Enables determining
protocol version against servers that require TLS and lays ground work for
some NLA/CredSSP information collection.
o [NSE] Address two protocol parsing issues in rdp-enum-encryption
and the RDP nse library which broke scanning of Windows XP. Clarify
protocol types
o [NSE] Script http-fileupload-exploiter failed to locate its
resource file unless executed from a specific working
directory.
o [NSE] Avoid clobbering the "severity" and "ignore_404" values of
fingerprints in http-enum. None of the standard fingerprints uses these
fields.
o [NSE] Fix a crash caused by a double-free of libssh2 session data
when running SSH NSE scripts against non-SSH services.
o [NSE] Updates the execution rule of the mongodb scripts to be
able to run on alternate ports.
o [Ncat] Allow Ncat to connect to servers on port 0, provided that
the socket implementation allows this.
o Update the included libpcap to 1.9.0.
o [NSE] Fix a logic error that resulted in scripts not honoring the
smbdomain script-arg when the target provided a domain in the NTLM
challenge.
o [Nsock] Avoid a crash (Protocol not supported) caused by trying
to reconnect with SSLv2 when an error occurs during DTLS connect. [Daniel
Miller]
o [NSE] Removed OSVDB references from scripts and replaced them
with BID references where possible.
o [NSE] Updates TN3270.lua and adds argument to disable TN3270E
o RMI parser could crash when encountering invalid input [Clément
Notin]
o Avoid reporting negative latencies due to matching an ARP or ND
response to a probe sent after it was recieved.
o [Ncat] To avoid confusion and to support non-default proxy ports,
option --proxy now requires a literal IPv6 address to be specified using
square-bracket notation, such as --proxy
o [Ncat] New ncat option provides control over
whether proxy destinations are resolved by the remote proxy server or
locally, by Ncat itself. See option --proxy-dns.
o [NSE] Updated script ftp-syst to prevent potential endless
looping.
o New service probes and match lines for v1 and v2 of the Ubiquiti
Discovery protocol. Devices often leave the related service open and it
exposes significant amounts of information as well as the risk of being
used as part of a DDoS. New nmap-payload entry for v1 of the
protocol.
o [NSE] Removed hostmap-ip2hosts.nse as the API has been broken for a while
and the service was completely shutdown on Feb 17th, 2019. [Paulino
Calderon]
o [NSE] Adds TN3270E support and additional improvements to
tn3270.lua and updates tn3270-screen.nse to display the new
setting.
o [NSE] Updates product codes and adds a check for response length
in enip-info.nse. The script now uses string.unpack.
o [Ncat] Temporary RSA keys are now 2048-bit to resolve a
compatibility issue with OpenSSL library configured with security level 2,
as seen on current Debian or Kali.
o [NSE] Fix a crash (double-free) when using SSH scripts against
non-SSH services.
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash when Nmap executable cannot be found and the system
PATH contains non-UTF-8 bytes, such as on Windows.
o [Zenmap] Fix a crash in results search when using the dir: operator:
AttributeError: 'SearchDB' object has no attribute 'match_dir' [Daniel
Miller]
o [Ncat] Fixed an issue with Ncat -e on Windows that caused early
termination of connections.
o [NSE] Fix a false-positive in http-phpmyadmin-dir-traversal when
the server responds with 200 status to a POST request to any
URI.
o [NSE] New vulnerability state in vulns.lua, UNKNOWN, is used to indicate
that testing could not rule out vulnerability.
o When searching for Lua header files, actually use them where
they are found instead of forcing /usr/include. [Fabrice Fontaine, Daniel
Miller]
o [NSE] Script traceroute-geolocation no longer crashes when
www.GeoPlugin.net returns null coordinates
o Limit verbose -v and debugging -d levels to a maximum of 10. Nmap does not
use higher levels internally.
o [NSE] tls.lua when creating a client_hello message will now only use a
SSLv3 record layer if the protocol version is SSLv3. Some TLS
implementations will not handshake with a client offering less than
TLSv1.0. Scripts will have to manually fall back to SSLv3 to talk to
SSLv3-only servers.
o [NSE] Fix a few false-positive conditions in
ssl-ccs-injection. TLS implementations that responded with fatal alerts
other than "unexpected message" had been falsely marked as
vulnerable.
o Emergency fix to Nmap's birthday announcement so Nmap wishes itself a
"Happy 21st Birthday" rather than "Happy 21th" in verbose mode (-v) on
September 1, 2018.
o Start host timeout clocks when the first probe is sent to a
host, not when the hostgroup is started. Sometimes a host doesn't get
probes until late in the hostgroup, increasing the chance it will time
out.
o [NSE] Support for edns-client-subnet (ECS) in dns.lua has been improved
by:
-
- Properly trimming ECS address, as mandated by RFC 7871
- Fixing a bug that prevented using the same ECS option table more than
once
o [Ncat] Fixed communication with commands launched with -e or -c
on Windows, especially when --ssl is used.
o [NSE] Script http-default-accounts can now select more than one
fingerprint category. It now also possible to select fingerprints by name
to support very specific scanning.
o [NSE] Script http-default-accounts was not able to run against more than
one target host/port.
o [NSE] New script-arg `http.host` allows users to force a
particular value for the Host header in all HTTP requests.
o [NSE] Use smtp.domain script arg or target's domain name instead
of "example.com" in EHLO command used for STARTTLS.
o [NSE] 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] Handle an error condition in smb-vuln-ms17-010 caused by
IPS closing the connection.
o [Ncat] Fixed literal IPv6 URL format for connecting through HTTP
proxies.
o [NSE] Updates vendors from ODVA list for enip-info.
[NothinRandom]
o [NSE] Add two common error strings that improve MySQL detection
by the script http-sql-injection.
o [NSE] Fix bug in http-vuln-cve2006-3392 that prevented the script
to generate the vulnerability report correctly.
o [NSE] Fix bug related to screen rendering in NSE library
tn3270. This patch also improves the brute force script
tso-brute.
o [NSE] Fix SIP, SASL, and HTTP Digest authentication when the
algorithm contains lowercase characters.
o 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.
o [NSE]The HTTP response parser now tolerates status lines without a reason
phrase, which improves compatibility with some HTTP servers.
o [NSE]] 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
o [NSE] Fix parsing http-grep.match script-arg. [Hans van den
Bogert]
o [Zenmap] Avoid a crash when recent_scans.txt cannot be written
to.
o Fixed --resume when the path to Nmap contains spaces.
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.
7.70:
We're excited to make our first Nmap release of 2018--version 7.70! It
includes hundreds of new OS and service fingerprints, 9 new NSE scripts
(for a total of 588), a much-improved version of our Npcap windows packet
capturing library/driver, and service detection improvements to make -sV
faster and more accurate.
Without that change the nmap configure script checks for `lua_isyield'
symbol (appeared on Lua 5.3), and for LUA_VERSION_DEFAULT != 53
(pkgsrc by default set LUA_VERSION_DEFAULT to 52) it will just
silently use its internal version.
Set LUA_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED to 53 to avoid that.
Fix PR pkg/52624 reported by Patrick Mackey.
Bump PKGREVISION.
o 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 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.
o 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.
+ http-vuln-cve2017-8917 checks for an SQL injection vulnerability affecting
Joomla! 3.7.x before 3.7.1.
+ iec-identify probes for the IEC 60870-5-104 SCADA protocol.
+ openwebnet-discovery retrieves device identifying information and
number of connected devices running on openwebnet protocol.
+ puppet-naivesigning checks for a misconfiguration in the Puppet CA where
naive signing is enabled, allowing for any CSR to be automatically signed.
+ 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.
+ smb2-capabilities lists the supported capabilities of SMB2/SMB3
servers.
+ smb2-time determines the current date and boot date of SMB2
servers.
+ smb2-security-mode determines the message signing configuration of
SMB2/SMB3 servers.
+ smb2-vuln-uptime attempts to discover missing critical patches in
Microsoft Windows systems based on the SMB2 server uptime.
+ ssh-auth-methods lists the authentication methods offered by an SSH server.
+ ssh-brute performs brute-forcing of SSH password credentials.
+ 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.
+ ssh-run uses user-provided credentials to run commands on targets via SSH.
o Removed smbv2-enabled, which was incompatible with the new SMBv2/3
improvements. It was fully replaced by the smb-protocols script.
o 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.
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.
o Fix ndmp-version and ndmp-fs-info when scanning Veritas Backup
Exec Agent 15 or 16.
o Added wildcard detection to dns-brute. Only hostnames that
resolve to unique addresses will be listed.
o FTP scripts like ftp-anon and ftp-brute now correctly handle
TLS-protected FTP services and use STARTTLS when necessary.
o Function url.escape no longer encodes so-called "unreserved"
characters, including hyphen, period, underscore, and tilde, as per RFC 3986.
o 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.
o The HTTP response object has a new member, version, which
contains the HTTP protocol version string returned by the server, e.g. "1.0".
o Fix handling of the objectSID Active Directory attribute
by ldap.lua.
o 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.
o http-useragent-checker now checks for changes in HTTP status
(usually 403 Forbidden) in addition to redirects to indicate forbidden User
Agents.
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: http://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:
o [Ncat] A series of changes and fixes based on feedback from the Red Hat community:
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-620][GH-715] Added 8 new http-enum fingerprints for Hadoop
infrastructure components. [Thomas Debize, Varunram Ganesh]
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]
removed).
According the Changelog (only relevant entries for "lua" added/removed scripts):
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#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]

Changes:
Nmap 7.30 [2016-09-29]
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]
[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]

pcworx-info retrieves PLC model, firmware version, and date from Phoenix Contact PLCs. [Stephen Hilt]
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]
New service probes and match lines for DTLS, IPMI-RMCP, MQTT, PCWorx, ProConOS, and Tridium Fox, [Stephen Hilt, Mak Kolybabi, Daniel Miller]
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]
[NSE] Fixed a few bad Lua patterns that could result in denial of service due to excessive backtracking. [Adam Rutherford, Daniel Miller]
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]
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]
[GH#543] Restored compatibility with LibreSSL, which was lost in adding library version checks for OpenSSL 1.1. [Wonko7]
[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]
[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]
[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]
[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.
[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]
[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]
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]
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.
[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]
[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.
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]
[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]
[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]
[Zenmap] Long-overdue Spanish language translation has been added! Muy bien! [Vincent Dumont, Marta Garcia De La Paz, Paulino Calderon, Patricio Castagnaro]
[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]
[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]
[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]
[Zenmap] Long-overdue Spanish language translation has been added! Muy bien! [Vincent Dumont, Marta Garcia De La Paz, Paulino Calderon, Patricio Castagnaro]
[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]
[NSE][GH#234] Added a --script-timeout option for limiting run time for every individual NSE script. [Abhishek Singh]
[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]
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]
[NSE] ssl-enum-ciphers will now warn about 64-bit block ciphers in CBC mode, which are vulnerable to the SWEET32 attack.
[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]
[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]
[NSE][GH#519] Removed the obsolete script ip-geolocation-geobytes. [Paulino Calderon]
[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]
[NSE] Completed a refresh and validation of almost all fingerprints for script http-default-accounts. Also improved the script speed. [nnposter]
[GH#98] Added support for decoys in IPv6. Earlier we supported decoys only in IPv4. [Abhishek Singh]
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]
[GH#484] Allow Nmap to compile on some older Red Hat distros that disable EC crypto support in OpenSSL. [Jeroen Roovers, Vincent Dumont]
[GH#439] Nmap now supports OpenSSL 1.1.0-pre5 and previous versions. [Vincent Dumont]
[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]
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]
[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]
[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]
[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]
[NSE] Added the datetime library for performing date and time calculations, and as a helper to the clock-skew script.
[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]
[Zenmap][GH#279] Added a legend for the Topography window. [Suraj Hande]
Nmap 7.25BETA1 [2016-07-15]
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 http://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]
[NSE] Added 6 NSE scripts, from 5 authors, bringing the total up to 533! They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below (authors are listed in brackets):
clamav-exec detects ClamAV servers vulnerable to unauthorized clamav command execution. [Paulino Calderon]
http-aspnet-debug detects ASP.NET applications with debugging enabled. [Josh Amishav-Zlatin]
http-internal-ip-disclosure determines if the web server leaks its internal IP address when sending an HTTP/1.0 request without a Host header. [Josh Amishav-Zlatin]
[GH#304] http-mcmp detects mod_cluster Management Protocol (MCMP) and dumps its configuration. [Frank Spierings]
[GH#365] sslv2-drown detects vulnerability to the DROWN attack, including CVE-2016-0703 and CVE-2016-0704 that enable fast attacks on OpenSSL. [Bertrand Bonnefoy-Claudet]
vnc-title logs in to VNC servers and grabs the desktop title, geometry, and color depth. [Daniel Miller]
Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions from January to April (539 of them). Added 98 fingerprints, bringing the new total to 5187. Additions include Linux 4.4, Android 6.0, Windows Server 2016, and more. [Daniel Miller]
Integrated all 31 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from January to June. The classifier added 2 groups and expanded several others. Several Apple OS X groups were consolidated, reducing the total number of groups to 93. [Daniel Miller]
Update oldest supported Windows version to Vista (Windows 6.0). This enables the use of the poll Nsock engine, which has significant performance and accuracy advantages. Windows XP users can still use Nmap 7.12, available from https://nmap.org/dist/?C=M&O=D [Daniel Miller]
[NSE] Fix a crash that happened when trying to print the percent done of 0 NSE script threads:
timing.cc:710 bool ScanProgressMeter::printStats(double, const timeval*): Assertion 'ltime' failed.
This would happen if no scripts were scheduled in a scan phase and the user pressed a key or specified a short --stats-every interval. Reported by Richard Petrie. [Daniel Miller]
[GH#283][Nsock] Avoid "unknown protocol:0" debug messages and an "Unknown address family 0" crash on Windows and other platforms that do not set the src_addr argument to recvfrom for TCP sockets. [Daniel Miller]
Retrieve the correct network prefix length for an adapter on Windows. If more than one address was configured on an adapter, the same prefix length would be used for both. This incorrect behavior is still used on Windows XP and earlier. Reported by Niels Bohr. [Daniel Miller]
Changed libdnet-stripped to avoid bailing completely when an interface is encountered with an unsupported hardware address type. Caused "INTERFACES: NONE FOUND!" bugs in Nmap whenever Linux kernel added new hardware address types. [Daniel Miller]
Improved service detection of Docker and fixed a bug in the output of docker-version script. [Tom Sellers]
Fix detection of Microsoft Terminal Services (RDP). Our improved TLS service probes were matching on port 3389 before our specific Terminal Services probe, causing the port to be labeled as "ssl/unknown". Reported by Josh Amishav-Zlatin.
[NSE] Update to enable smb-os-discovery to augment version detection for certain SMB related services using data that the script discovers. [Tom Sellers]
Improved version detection and descriptions for Microsoft and Samba SMB services. Also addresses certain issues with OS identification. [Tom Sellers]
[NSE] ssl-enum-ciphers will give a failing score to any server with an RSA certificate whose public key uses an exponent of 1. It will also cap the score of an RC4-ciphersuite handshake at C and output a warning referencing RFC 7465. [Daniel Miller]
[NSE] Refactored some SSLv2 functionality into a new library, sslv2.lua . [Daniel Miller]
[GH#399] Zenmap's authorization wrapper now uses an AppleScript method for privilege escalation on OS X, avoiding the deprecated AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges method previously used. [Vincent Dumont]
[GH#454] The OS X binary package is distributed in a .dmg disk image that now features an instructive background image. [Vincent Dumont]
[GH#420] Our OS X build system now uses gtk-mac-bundler and jhbuild to provide all dependencies. We no longer use Macports for this purpose. [Vincent Dumont]
[GH#345][Zenmap] On Windows, save Zenmap's stderr output to a writeable location (%LOCALAPPDATA%\zenmap.exe.log or %TEMP%\zenmap.exe.log) instead of next to the zenmap.exe executable. This avoids a warning message when closing Zenmap if it produced any stderr output. [Daniel Miller]
[GH#379][NSE] Fix http-iis-short-name-brute to report non vulnerable hosts. Reported by alias1. [Paulino Calderon]
[NSE][GH#371] Fix mysql-audit by adding needed library requires to the mysql-cis.audit file. The script would fail with "Failed to load rulebase" message. [Paolo Perego]
[NSE][GH#362] Added support for LDAP over udp to ldap-rootdse.nse. Also added version detection and information extraction to match the new LDAP LDAPSearchReq and LDAPSearchReqUDP probes. [Tom Sellers]
[GH#354] Added new version detection Probes for LDAP services, LDAPSearchReq and LDAPSearchReqUDP. The second is Microsoft Active Directory specific. The Probes will elicit responses from target services that allow better finger -printing and information extraction. Also added nmap-payload entry for detecting LDAP on udp. [Tom Sellers]
[NSE] More VNC updates: Support for VeNCrypt and Tight auth types, output of authentication sub-types in vnc-info, and all zero-authentication types are recognized and reported. [Daniel Miller]
o [Zenmap] Avoid file corruption in zenmap.conf, reported as files containing
many null ("\x00") characters. Example exception:
ValueError: unable to parse colour specification
o [NSE] VNC updates including vnc-brute support for TLS security type and
negotiating a lower RFB version if the server sends an unknown higher
version.
o [NSE] Added STARTTLS support for VNC, NNTP, and LMTP
o Added new service probes and match lines for OpenVPN on UDP and TCP.
o Switch to using gtk-mac-bundler and jhbuild for building the OS X installer.
This promises to reduce a lot of the problems we've had with local paths and
dependencies using the py2app and macports build system. [Daniel Miller]
o The Windows installer is now built with NSIS 2.47 which features LoadLibrary
security hardening to prevent DLL hijacking and other unsafe use of temporary
directories. Thanks to Stefan Kanthak for reporting the issue to NSIS and to
us and the many other projects that use it.
o Updated the OpenSSL shipped with our binary builds (Windows, OS X, and RPM)
to 1.0.2e.
o [Zenmap] [GH-235] Fix several failures to launch Zenmap on OS X. The new
build process eliminates these errors:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/etc/pango/pangorc.in'
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/Zenmap.app with error -10810.
o [NSE] [GH-254] Update the TLSSessionRequest probe in ssl-enum-ciphers to
match the one in nmap-service-probes, which was fixed previously to correct a
length calculation error. [Daniel Miller]
o [NSE] [GH-251] Correct false positives and unexpected behavior in http-*
scripts which used http.identify_404 to determine when a file was not found
on the target. The function was following redirects, which could be an
indication of a soft-404 response. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE] [GH-241] Fix a false-positive in hnap-info when the target responds
with 200 OK to any request. [Tom Sellers]
o [NSE] [GH-244] Fix an error response in xmlrpc-methods when run against a
non-HTTP service. The expected behavior is no output. [Niklaus Schiess]
o [NSE] Fix SSN validation function in http-grep, reported by Bruce Barnett.
o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions since June 2013
(2700+ of them). Added 366 fingerprints, bringing the new total to 4485.
Additions include Linux 3.10 - 3.14, iOS 7, OpenBSD 5.4 - 5.5, FreeBSD 9.2,
OS X 10.9, Android 4.3, and more. Many existing fingerprints were improved.
Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2014/q3/325
o (Windows) Upgraded the included OpenSSL to version 1.0.1i.
o (Windows) Upgraded the included Python to version 2.7.8.
o Removed the External Entity Declaration from the DOCTYPE in Nmap's XML. This
was added in 6.45, and resulted in trouble for Nmap XML parsers without
network access, as well as increased traffic to Nmap's servers. The doctype
is now:
<!DOCTYPE nmaprun>
o [Ndiff] Fixed the installation process on Windows, which was missing the
actual Ndiff Python module since we separated it from the driver script.
o [Ndiff] Fixed the ndiff.bat wrapper in the zipfile Windows distribution,
which was giving the error, "\Microsoft was unexpected at this time." See
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2524009
o [Zenmap] Fixed the Zenmap .dmg installer for OS X. Zenmap failed to launch,
producing this error:
Could not import the zenmapGUI.App module:
'dlopen(/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/glib/_glib.so, 2):
Library not loaded: /Users/david/macports-10.5/lib/libffi.5.dylib\n
Referenced from:
/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/glib/_glib.so\n
Reason: image not found'.
o [Ncat] Fixed SOCKS5 username/password authentication. The password length was
being written in the wrong place, so authentication could not succeed.
o Avoid formatting NULL as "%s" when running nmap --iflist. GNU libc converts
this to the string "(null)", but it caused segfault on Solaris.
o [Zenmap][Ndiff] Avoid crashing when users have the antiquated PyXML package
installed. Python tries to be nice and loads it when we import xml, but it
isn't compatible. Instead, we force Python to use the standard library xml
module.
o Handle ICMP admin-prohibited messages when doing service version detection.
Crash reported by Nathan Stocks was: Unexpected error in NSE_TYPE_READ
callback. Error code: 101 (Network is unreachable)
o [NSE] Fix a bug causing http.head to not honor redirects.
o [Zenmap] Fix a bug in DiffViewer causing this crash:
TypeError: GtkTextBuffer.set_text() argument 1 must be string or read-only
buffer, not NmapParserSAX
Crash happened when trying to compare two scans within Zenmap.
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
