Download Nmap 7.30

Nmap is a program for exploring and monitoring a network. It is designed to scan a large network without delays and also runs smoothly on a single host. The program uses raw ip packets to retrieve active hosts and information about available services. It comes bundled with NSE, which lets you scripts can use to detect security leaks, similar to Nessus or OpenVAS in idea, with Zenmapwhich generates a visual topology of the detected network environment, and with Ncat, which allows you to intercept, analyze, modify, and so on network traffic. More information about the possibilities can be found at this page. The developers have finally released Nmap 7.30 after several beta versions with the following announcement on the mailing list:

Nmap 7.30 Released with new NSE scripts, new Npcap, new Fingerprints, etc.

Hi folks! You may have noticed that we’ve only been releasing Nmap betas for the last 6 months because we’ve had so much new code and so many features to integrate thanks to hard work from both our regular team and the 5 Google Summer of Code summer internals. But we spent the last month focused on stability and I’m pleased to announce Nmap 7.30–our first stable release since 7.12 back in March.

Even though it’s a stable release, we didn’t limit ourselves to only including bug fixes since the last beta. We also snuck in some great new features, including 7 more NSE scripts, an improved version of Npcap (our new Windows packet capturing driver/library), new service probes and OS fingerprints, and more listed below.

Nmap 7.30 source code and binary packages for Linux, Windows, and Mac are available for free download from the usual spot.

If you find any bugs in this release, please let us know on the Nmap Dev list or bug tracker.

Here are the changes since Nmap’s last beta release (Nmap’s 7.25BETA2 birthday release on September 1):

• 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.
• [NSE] Added 7 NSE scripts, from 3 authors, bringing the total up to 541!
  • – [GH#369] coap-resources grabs the list of available resources from CoAP endpoints.
  • fox-info retrieves detailed version and configuration info from Tridium Niagara Fox services.
  • ipmi-brute performs authentication brute-forcing on IPMI services.
  • ipmi-cipher-zero checks IPMI services for Cipher Zero support, which allows connection without a password.
  • ipmi-version retrieves protocol version and authentication options from ASF-RMCP (IPMI) services.
  • [GH#352] mqtt-subscribe connects to a MQTT broker, subscribes to topics, and lists the messages received.
  • pcworx-info retrieves PLC model, firmware version, and date from Phoenix Contact PLCs.
• 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.
• New service probes and match lines for DTLS, IPMI-RMCP, MQTT, PCWorx, ProConOS, and Tridium Fox
• 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.
• [NSE] Fixed a few bad Lua patterns that could result in denial of service due to excessive backtracking.
• 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.
• 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.
• [GH#543] Restored compatibility with LibreSSL, which was lost in adding library version checks for OpenSSL 1.1.
• [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.
• [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.
• [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.

In addition to the changes above which haven’t been in any Nmap release yet, Nmap 7.30 contains all the improvements from the 7.25BETA2 and 7.25BETA1 releases.

Enjoy this new stable release and please do let us know if you find any problems!

cheers,
