Nmap 6.00 Released

One of the few perks of being involved with the Nmap project is that I've spent the last month playing with a release candidate for Nmap 6.00. It's not actually that different to what's in SVN right now, but I was still running 5.61TEST4 on most of my systems due to its stability. I decided to run my usual long script command. This meant that this was the first time I'd tried the new scripts that make use of the httpspider NSE library. It turns out that for hosts with websites, the following three scripts will cause the scans to take ages to run (it also doesn't help if one of the targets is www.google.co.uk, for hopefully obvious reasons):
  • http-open-redirect
  • http-unsafe-output-escaping
  • http-backup-finder
After specifically excluding them, my scans ran a lot quicker. This is presumably why they're not part of the default category.

I tried Nmap 6.00 on Linux (Fedora 15) and Windows 7 and both versions seemed to work fine.

You can download Nmap 6.00 from here and here's a link to the announcement of this major new version.

I'm still gutted that the latest version of http-php-version is only available in SVN.
