Download Nmap 5.35DC1

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 so-called ‘raw ip packets’ to retrieve active hosts and information about the available services. More information about the possibilities can be found at this page. The developers have on the occasion of Defcon released version 5.35DC1 in the development branch a few days ago. The corresponding announcement looks like this:

Hi folks. It has been 3.5 months since the last Nmap release (5.30BETA1 on March 29), and anyone following the nmap-dev list knows that we’ve been very busy during that time. So I’m pleased to release Nmap version 5.35DC1 containing the fruits of that labor. The Defcon name is because that conference is awesome! And also because David Fifield and I have an exciting Nmap talk planned there and at Black Hat in a couple weeks (see http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q3/108).

This release includes 131 NSE scripts (17 new), 6,622 version detection signatures, 2,608 OS fingerprints, and more. I’m particularly excited about the new db2 and ms-sql scripts, and nfs-ls really makes NFS discovery easy! We also added Eugene Alexeev’s clever new dns-cache-snoop script. Nping and Ncat were significantly improved as well.

The Nmap 5.35DC1 source code and packages for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows are available for download at the usual place.

This is a BETA release, but we hope it works well for you. If not (or if you have any suggestions for improvement), please let us know on nmap-dev as described at http://nmap.org/book/man-bugs.html.

Enjoy the new release, and I hope to see you at Defcon!
