NMap 6.25 release..!!!

Nmap 6.25 contains hundreds of improvements,including 85 new NSE scripts, nearly 1,000 new OS and servicedetection fingerprints, performance enhancements such as the new kqueue and poll I/O engines, better IPv6 traceroute support, Windows 8 improvements, and much more! It also includes the work of five GoogleSummer of Code interns who worked full time with Nmap mentors during
the summer.

Nmap 6.25 source code and binary packages for Linux, Windows, and Mac
are available for free download from:

http://nmap.org/download.html

Here are the most important change since 6.01:

o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions since January
(more than 3,000 of them). Added 373 fingerprints, bringing the new
total to 3,946. Additions include Linux 3.6, Windows 8, Windows
Server 2012, Mac OS X 10.8, and a ton of new WAPs, printers,
routers, and other devices--including our first IP-enabled doorbell!
Many existing fingerprints were improved. [David Fifield]

o Integrated all of your service/version detection fingerprints
submitted since January (more than 1,500)! Our signature
count jumped by more than 400 to 8,645. We now detect 897
protocols, from extremely popular ones like http, ssh, smtp and imap
to the more obscure airdroid, gopher-proxy, and
enemyterritory. [David Fifield]

o Integrated your latest IPv6 OS submissions and corrections. We're
still low on IPv6 fingerprints, so please scan any IPv6 systems you
own or administer and submit them to http://nmap.org/submit/. Both
new fingerprints (if Nmap doesn't find a good match) and corrections
(if Nmap guesses wrong) are useful.

o Enabled support for IPv6 traceroute using UDP, SCTP, and IPProto
(Next Header) probes. [David Fifield]

o Scripts can now return a structured name-value table so that results
are query-able from XML output. Scripts can return a string as
before, or a table, or a table and a string. In this last case, the
table will go to XML output and the string will go to screen output.
See http://nmap.org/book/nse-api.html#nse-structured-output [Daniel
Miller, David Fifield, Patrick Donnelly]

o [Nsock] Added new poll and kqueue I/O engines for improved
performance on Windows and BSD-based systems including Mac OS X.
These are in addition to the epoll engine (used on Linux) and the
classic select engine fallback for other system. [Henri Doreau]

o [Ncat] Added support for Unix domain sockets. The new -U and
--unixsock options activate this mode. These provide compatibility
with Hobbit's original Netcat. [Tomas Hozza]

o Moved some Windows dependencies, including OpenSSL, libsvn, and the
vcredist files, into a new public Subversion directory
/nmap-mswin32-aux and moved it out of the source tarball. This
reduces the compressed tarball size from 22 MB to 8 MB and similarly
reduces the bandwidth and storage required for an svn checkout.
Folks who build Nmap on Windows will need to check out
/nmap-mswin32-aux along with /nmap as described at
http://nmap.org/book/inst-windows.html#inst-win-source.

o Many of the great features in this release were created by college
and grad students generously sponsored by Google's Summer of Code
program. Thanks, Google Open Source Department! This year's team
of five developers is introduced at
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q2/204 and their successes
documented at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q4/138

o [NSE] Replaced old RPC grinder (RPC enumeration, performed as part
of version detection when a port seems to run a SunRPC service) with
a faster and easier to maintain NSE-based implementation. This also
allowed us to remove the crufty old pos_scan scan engine. [Hani
Benhabiles]

o Updated our Nmap Scripting Engine to use Lua 5.2 (and then 5.2.1)
rather than 5.1. See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q2/34 for
details. [Patrick Donnelly]

o [NSE] Added 85(!) NSE scripts, bringing the total up to 433.
