Nmap 7.90
Upgraded Npcap, our Windows packet capturing (and sending) library to the milestone 1.00 release! It's the culmination of 7 years of development with 170 public pre-releases. This includes dozens of performance improvements, bug fixes, and feature enhancements described at https://npcap.com/changelog. Integrated over 800 service/version detection fingerprints submitted since August 2017. The signature count went up 1.8% to 11,878, including 17 new softmatches. We now detect 1237 protocols from airmedia-audio, banner-ivu, and control-m to insteon-plm, pi-hole-stats, and ums-webviewer. A significant number of submissions remain to be integrated in the next release. Integrated over 330 of the most-frequently-submitted IPv4 OS fingerprints since August 2017. Added 26 fingerprints, bringing the new total to 5,678. Additions include iOS 12 & 13, macOS Catalina & Mojave, Linux 5.4, FreeBSD 13, and more. Integrated all 67 of your IPv6 OS fingerprint submissions from August 2017 to September 2020. Added new groups for FreeBSD 12, Linux 5.4, and Windows 10, and consolidated several weak groups to improve classification accuracy. Added 3 NSE scripts, from 2 authors, bringing the total up to 601! They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries are below: dicom-brute attempts to brute force the called Application Entity Title of DICOM servers. dicom-ping discovers DICOM servers and determines if any Application Entity Title is allowed to connect. uptime-agent-info collects system information from an Idera Uptime Infrastructure Monitor agent. Addressed over 250 code quality issues identified by LGTM.com, improving our code quality score from "C" to "A+" Released Npcap OEM Edition. For more than 20 years, the Nmap Project has been funded by selling licenses for companies to distribute Nmap with their products, along with commercial support. Hundreds of commercial products now use Nmap for network discovery tasks like port scanning, host discovery, OS detection, service/version detection, and of course the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE). Until now they have just used standard Nmap, but this new OEM Edition is customized for use within other Windows software. Nmap OEM contains the OEM version of our Npcap driver, which allows for silent installation. It also removes the Zenmap GUI, which cuts the installer size by more than half. And it reports itself as Nmap OEM so customers know it's a properly licensed Nmap. See https://nmap.org/oem for more details. We will be reaching out to all existing licensees with Nmap OEM access credentials, but any licensees who wants it quicker should see https://nmap.org/oem. Upgraded the Nmap license form a sort of hacked-up version of GPLv2 to a cleaner and better organized version (still based on GPLv2) now called the Nmap Public Source License to avoid confusion. See https://nmap.org/npsl/ for more details and annotated license text. This NPSL project was started in 2006 (community discussion here: https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2006/q4/126) and then it lost momentum for 7 years until it was restarted in 2013 (https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2013/q1/399) and then we got distracted by development again. We still have some ideas for improving the NPSL, but it's already much better than the current license, so we're applying NPSL Version 0.92 to the code now and can make improvements later if needed. This does not change the license of previous Nmap releases. Removed nmap-update. This program was intended to provide a way to update data files and NSE scripts, but the infrastructure was never fielded. It depended on Subversion version control and would have required maintaining separate versions of NSE scripts for compatibility. Removed the silent-install command-line option (/S) from the Windows installer. It causes several problems and there were no objections when we proposed removing it in 2016 (https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q4/168). It will remain in Nmap OEM since its main use was for cust
