By Date By Thread Nmap 5.50: Now with Gopher protocol support! From: Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org>

Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 11:32:01 -0800

Hi folks! It has been a year since the last Nmap stable release (5.21) and six months since development version 5.35DC1, so I'm pleased to release Nmap 5.50! I'm sure you'll find that it was worth the wait! A primary focus of this release is the Nmap Scripting Engine, which has allowed Nmap to expand up the protocol stack and take network discovery to the next level. Nmap can now query all sorts of application protocols, including web servers, databases, DNS servers, FTP, and now even Gopher servers! Remember those? These capabilities are in self-contained libraries and scripts to avoid bloating Nmap's core engine. I'm so excited about NSE that I made it the topic of my presentation with David Fifield last summer at Defcon and the Black Hat Briefings. You can watch the video at http://nmap.org/presentations/. Since Nmap 5.21, we've more then doubled the number of NSE scripts to 177 and NSE libraries jumped from 30 to 54. They're all detailed at http://nmap.org/nsedoc/. The actual NSE engine became more powerful as well. Newtargets support allows scripts like dns-zone-xfer and dns-service-discovery to add discovered hosts to Nmap's scan queue. We also added a brute forcing engine, network broadcast script support, and two new script scanning phases known as prerule and postrule. This release isn't just about NSE. We also added the Nping packet probing and analysis tool (http://nmap.org/nping/) in 5.35DC1. Version 5.50 improves Nping further with an innovative new echo mode (http://bit.ly/nping-echo). Meanwhile, we added 636 OS fingerprints and 1,037 version detection signatures to Nmap since 5.21, bringing the totals to 2,982 and 7,319, respectively. No other tool comes close. Some people complained that our Zenmap GUI was too slow to handle giant enterprise networks, so we put a lot of effort into performance. Time taken to load our benchmark file (a scan of just over a million IPs belonging to Microsoft corporation) was reduced from hours to less than two minutes. We also gave Zenmap some new features, including a script selection interface and printing support. I'll list hundreds of other changes later, but let's cut to the chase: Nmap 5.50 source code as well as binary packages for Linux, Mac, and Windows are now available at: http://nmap.org/download.html If you find any bugs, please let us know on nmap-dev as described at http://nmap.org/book/man-bugs.html. Here is the full list of significant changes since I mailed you about the 5.35DC1 release last July: o [Zenmap] Added a new script selection interface, allowing you to choose scripts and arguments from a list which includes descriptions of every available script. Just click the "Scripting" tab in the profile editor. [Kirubakaran] o [Nping] Added echo mode, a novel technique for discovering how your packets are changed (or dropped) in transit between the host they originated and a target machine. It can detect network address translation, packet filtering, routing anomalies, and more. You can try it out against our public Nping echo server using this command: nping --echo-client "public" echo.nmap.org' Or learn more about echo mode at http://nmap.org/book/nping-man-echo-mode.html. [Luis] o [NSE] Added an amazing 46 scripts, bringing the total to 177! You can learn more about any of them at http://nmap.org/nsedoc/. Here are the new ones (authors listed in brackets): broadcast-dns-service-discovery: Attempts to discover hosts' services using the DNS Service Discovery protocol. It sends a multicast DNS-SD query and collects all the responses. [Patrik Karlsson] broadcast-dropbox-listener: Listens for the LAN sync information broadcasts that the Dropbox.com client broadcasts every 20 seconds, then prints all the discovered client IP addresses, port numbers, version numbers, display names, and more. [Ron Bowes, Mak Kolybabi, Andrew Orr, Russ Tait Milne] broadcast-ms-sql-discover: Discovers Microsoft SQL servers in the same broadcast domain. [Patrik Karlsson] broadcast-upnp-info: Attempts to extract system information from the UPnP service by sending a multicast query, then collecting, parsing, and displaying all responses. [Patrik Karlsson] broadcast-wsdd-discover: Uses a multicast query to discover devices supporting the Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS-Discovery) protocol. It also attempts to locate any published Windows Communication Framework (WCF) web services (.NET 4.0 or later). [Patrik Karlsson] db2-discover: Attempts to discover DB2 servers on the network by querying open ibm-db2 UDP ports (normally port 523). [Patrik Karlsson] dns-update.nse: Attempts to perform an unauthenticated dynamic DNS update. [Patrik Karlsson] domcon-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against the Lotus Domino Console. [Patrik Karlsson] domcon-cmd: Runs a console command on the Lotus Domino Console with the given authentication credentials (see also: domcon-brute). [Patrik Karlsson] domino-enum-users: Attempts to discover valid IBM Lotus Domino users and download their ID files by exploiting the CVE-2006-5835 vulnerability. [Patrik Karlsson] firewalk: Tries to discover firewall rules using an IP TTL expiration technique known as firewalking. [Henri Doreau] ftp-proftpd-backdoor: Tests for the presence of the ProFTPD 1.3.3c backdoor reported as OSVDB-ID 69562. This script attempts to exploit the backdoor using the innocuous id command by default, but that can be changed with a script argument. [Mak Kolybabi] giop-info: Queries a CORBA naming server for a list of objects. [Patrik Karlsson] gopher-ls: Lists files and directories at the root of a Gopher service. Remember those? [Toni Ruottu] hddtemp-info: Reads hard disk information (such as brand, model, and sometimes temperature) from a listening hddtemp service. [Toni Ruottu] hostmap: Tries to find hostnames that resolve to the target's IP address by querying the online database at http://www.bfk.de/bfk_dnslogger.html. [Ange Gutek] http-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against http basic authentication. [Patrik Karlsson] http-domino-enum-passwords: Attempts to enumerate the hashed Domino Internet Passwords that are (by default) accessible by all authenticated users. This script can also download any Domino ID Files attached to the Person document. [Patrik Karlsson] http-form-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against http form-based authentication. [Patrik Karlsson] http-vhosts: Searches for web virtual hostnames by making a large number of HEAD requests against http servers using common hostnames. [Carlos Pantelides] informix-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against IBM Informix Dynamic Server. [Patrik Karlsson] informix-query: Runs a query against IBM Informix Dynamic Server using the given authentication credentials (see also: informix-brute). [Patrik Karlsson] informix-tables: Retrieves a list of tables and column definitions for each database on an Informix server. [Patrik Karlsson] iscsi-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against iSCSI targets. [Patrik Karlsson] iscsi-info: Collects and displays information from remote iSCSI targets. [Patrik Karlsson] modbus-discover: Enumerates SCADA Modbus slave ids (sids) and collects their device information. [Alexander Rudakov] nat-pmp-info: Queries a NAT-PMP service for its external address. [Patrik Karlsson] netbus-auth-bypass: Checks if a NetBus server is vulnerable to an authentication bypass vulnerability which allows full access without knowing the password. [Toni Ruottu] netbus-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against the Netbus backdoor ("remote administration") service. [Toni Ruottu] netbus-info: Opens a connection to a NetBus server and extracts information about the host and the NetBus service itself. [Toni Ruottu] netbus-version: Extends version detection to detect NetBuster, a honeypot service that mimes NetBus. [Toni Ruottu] nrpe-enum: Queries Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) daemons to obtain information such as load averages, process counts, logged in user information, etc. [Mak Kolybabi] oracle-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against Oracle servers. [Patrik Karlsson] oracle-enum-users: Attempts to enumerate valid Oracle user names against unpatched Oracle 11g servers (this bug was fixed in Oracle's October 2009 Critical Patch Update). [Patrik Karlsson] path-mtu: Performs simple Path MTU Discovery to target hosts. [Kris Katterjohn] resolveall: Resolves hostnames and adds every address (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on Nmap mode) to Nmap's target list. This differs from Nmap's normal host resolution process, which only scans the first address (A or AAAA record) returned for each host name. [Kris Katterjohn] rmi-dumpregistry: Connects to a remote RMI registry and attempts to dump all of its objects. [Martin Holst Swende] smb-flood: Exhausts a remote SMB server's connection limit by by opening as many connections as we can. Most implementations of SMB have a hard global limit of 11 connections for user accounts and 10 connections for anonymous. Once that limit is reached, further connections are denied. This script exploits that limit by taking up all the connections and holding them. [Ron Bowes] ssh2-enum-algos: Reports the number of algorithms (for encryption, compression, etc.) that the target SSH2 server offers. If verbosity is set, the offered algorithms are each listed by type. [Kris Katterjohn] stuxnet-detect: Detects whether a host is infected with the Stuxnet worm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet). [Mak Kolybabi] svn-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against Subversion source code control servers. [Patrik Karlsson] targets-traceroute: Inserts traceroute hops into the Nmap scanning queue. It only functions if Nmap's --traceroute option is used and the newtargets script argument is given. [Henri Doreau] vnc-brute: Performs brute force password auditing against VNC servers. [Patrik Karlsson] vnc-info: Queries a VNC server for its protocol version and supported security types. [Patrik Karlsson] wdb-version: Detects vulnerabilities and gathers information (such as version numbers and hardware support) from VxWorks Wind DeBug agents. [Daniel Miller] wsdd-discover: Retrieves and displays information from devices supporting the Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS-Discovery) protocol. It also attempts to locate any published Windows Communication Framework (WCF) web services (.NET 4.0 or later). [Patrik Karlsson] o [NSE] Added 12 new protocol libraries: - dhcp.lua by Ron - dnssd.lua (DNS Service Discovery) by Patrik - ftp.lua by David - giop.lua (CORBA naming service) by Patrik - informix.lua (Informix database) by Patrik - iscsi.lua (iSCSI - IP based SCSI data transfer) by Patrik - nrpc.lua (Lotus Domino RPC) by Patrik - rmi.lua (Java Remote Method Invocation) by Martin Holst Swende - tns.lua (Oracle) by Patrik - upnp.lua (UPnP support) by Thomas Buchanan and Patrik - vnc.lua (Virtual Network Computing) by Patrik - wsdd.lua (Web Service Dynamic Discovery) by Patrik o [NSE] Added a new brute library that provides a basic framework and logic for brute force password auditing scripts. [Patrik] o [Zenmap] Greatly improved performance for large scans by benchmarking intensively and then recoding dozens of slow parts. Time taken to load our benchmark file (a scan of just over a million IPs belonging to Microsoft corporation, with 74,293 hosts up) was reduced from hours to less than two minutes. Memory consumption decreased dramatically as well. [David] o Performed a major OS detection integration run. The database has grown more than 14% to 2,982 fingerprints and many of the existing fingerprints were improved. Highlights include Linux 2.6.37, iPhone OS 4.2.1, Solaris 11, AmigaOS 3.1, GNU Hurd 0.3, and MINIX 2.0.4. David posted highlights of his integration work at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q4/651 o Performed a huge version detection integration run. The number of signatures has grown by more than 11% to 7,355. More than a third of our signatures are for http, but we also detect 743 other service protocols, from abc, acap, access-remote-pc, and achat to zenworks, zeo, and zmodem. David posted highlights at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q4/761. o [NSE] Added the target NSE library which allows scripts to add newly discovered targets to Nmap's scanning queue. This allows Nmap to support a wide range of target acquisition techniques. Scripts which can now use this feature include dns-zone-transfer, hostmap, ms-sql-info, snmp-interfaces, targets-traceroute, and several more. [Djalal] o [NSE] Nmap has two new NSE script scanning phases. The new pre-scan occurs before Nmap starts scanning. Some of the initial pre-scan scripts use techniques like broadcast DNS service discovery or DNS zone transfers to enumerate hosts which can optionally be treated as targets. The other phase (post scan) runs after all of Nmap's scanning is complete. We don't have any of these scripts yet, but they could compile scan statistics or present the results in a different way. One idea is a reverse index which provides a list of services discovered during a network scan, along with a list of IPs found to be running each service. See http://nmap.org/book/nse-usage.html#nse-script-types. [Djalal] o [NSE] A new --script-help option describes all scripts matching a given specification. It accepts the same specification format as --script does. For example, try 'nmap --script-help "default or http-*"'. [David, Martin Holst Swende] o Dramatically improved nmap.xsl (used for converting Nmap XML output to HTML). In particular: - Put verbose details behind expander buttons so you can see them if you want, but they don't distract from the main output. In particular, offline hosts and traceroute results are collapsed by default. - Improved the color scheme to be less garish. - Added support for the new NSE pre-scan and post-scan phases. - Changed script output to use 'pre' tags to keep even lengthy output readable. - Added a floating menu to the lower-right for toggling whether closed/filtered ports are shown or not (they are now hidden by default if Javascript is enabled). Many smaller improvements were made as well. You can find the new file at http://nmap.org/svn/docs/nmap.xsl, and here is an example scan processed through it: http://nmap.org/tmp/newxsl.html. [Tom] o [NSE] Created a new "broadcast" script category for the broadcast-* scripts. These perform network discovery by broadcasting on the local network and listening for responses. Since they don't directly relate to targets specified on the command line, these are kept out of the default category (nor do they go in "discovery"). o Integrated cracked passwords from the Gawker.com compromise (http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q4/674) into Nmap's top-5000 password database. A team of Nmap developers lead by Brandon Enright has cracked 635,546 out of 748,081 password hashes so far (85%). Gawker doesn't exactly have the most sophisticated users on the Internet--their top passwords are "123456", "password", "12345678", "lifehack", "qwerty", "abc123", "12345", "monkey", "111111", "consumer", and "letmein". o XML output now excludes output for down hosts when only doing host discovery, unless verbosity (-v) was requested. This is how it already worked for normal scans, but the ping-only case was overlooked. [David] o Updated the Windows build process to work with (and require) Visual C++ 2010 rather than 2008. If you want to build Zenmap too, you now need Python 2.7 (rather than 2.6) and GTK+ 2.22. See http://nmap.org/book/inst-windows.html#inst-win-source [David, Rob Nicholls, KX] o Merged port names in the nmap-services file with allocated names from the IANA (http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers). We only added IANA names which were "unknown" in our file--we didn't deal with conflicting names. [David] o Enabled the ASLR and DEP security technologies for Nmap.exe, Ncat.exe and Nping.exe on Windows Vista and above. Visual C++ will set the /DYNAMICBASE and /NXCOMPAT flags in the PE header. Executables generated using py2exe or NSIS and third party binaries (OpenSSL, WinPcap) still don't support ASLR or DEP. Support for DEP on XP SP3, using SetProcessDEPPolicy(), could still be implemented. See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q3/328. [Robert] o Investigated using the CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) standard for describing operating systems, devices, and service names for Nmap OS and service detection. You can read David's reports at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q3/278 and http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q3/303. o [Zenmap] Improved the output viewer to show new output in constant time. Previously it would get slower and slower as the output grew longer, eventually making Zenmap appear to freeze with 100% CPU. Rob Nicholls and Ray Middleton helped with testing. [David] o The Linux RPM builds of Nmap and related tools (ncat, nping, etc.) now link to system libraries dynamically rather than statically. They still link statically to dependency libraries such as OpenSSL, Lua, LibPCRE, Libpcap, etc. We hope this will improve portability so the RPMs will work on distributions with older software (like RHEL, Debian stable) as well as more bleeding edge ones like Fedora. [David] o [NSE] Added the ability to send and receive on unconnected sockets. This can be used, for example, to receive UDP broadcasts without having to use Libpcap. A number of scripts have been changed so that they can work as prerule scripts to discover services by UDP broadcasting, and optionally add the discovered targets to the scanning queue: - ms-sql-info - upnp-info - dns-service-discovery The nmap.new_socket function can now optionally take a default protocol and address family, which will be used if the socket is not connected. There is a new nmap.sendto function to be used with unconnected UDP sockets. [David, Patrik] o [Nping] Substantially improved the Nping man page. You can read it online at http://nmap.org/book/nping-man.html. [Luis, David] o Documented the licenses of the third-party software used by Nmap and it's sibling tools: http://nmap.org/svn/docs/3rd-party-licenses.txt. [David] o [NSE] Improved the SMB scripts so that they can run in parallel rather than using a mutex to force serialization. This quadrupled the SMB scan speed in one large scale test. See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q3/819. [Ron] o Added a simple Nmap NSE script template to make writing new scripts easier: http://nmap.org/svn/docs/sample-script.nse. [Ron] o [Zenmap] Made the topology node radiuses grow logarithmically instead of linearly, so that hosts with thousands of open ports don't overwhelm the diagram. Also only open ports (not open|filtered) are considered when calculating node sizes. Henri Doreau found and fixed a bug in the implementation. [Daniel Miller] o [NSE] Added the get_script_args NSE function for parsing script arguments in a clean and standardized way (http://nmap.org/nsedoc/lib/stdnse.html#get_script_args). [Djalal] o Increased the initial RTT timeout for ARP scans from 100 ms to 200 ms. Some wireless and VPN links were taking around 300 ms to respond. The default of one retransmission gives them 400 ms to be detected. o Added new version detection probes and signatures from Patrik for: - Lotus Domino Console running on tcp/2050 (shows OS and hostname) - IBM Informix Dynamic Server running native protocol (shows hostname, and file path) - Database servers running the DRDA protocol - IBM Websphere MQ (shows name of queue-manager and channel) o Fix Nmap compilation on OpenSolaris (see http://blogs.sun.com/sdaven/entry/nmap_5_35dc1_compile_on) [David] o [NSE] The http library's request functions now accept an additional "auth" table within the option table, which causes Basic authentication credentials to be sent. [David] o Improved IPv6 host output in that we now remember and report the forward DNS name (given by the user) and any non-scanned addresses (usually because of round robin DNS). We already did this for IPv4. [David] o [Zenmap] Upgraded to the newer gtk.Tooltip API to avoid deprecation messages about gtk.Tooltip. [Rob Nicholls] o [NSE] Made dns-zone-transfer script able to add new discovered DNS records to the Nmap scanning queue. [Djalal] o [NSE] Enhance ssl-cert to also report the type and bit size of SSL certificate public keys [Matt Selsky] o [Ncat] Make --exec and --idle-timeout work when connecting with --proxy. Florian Roth reported the bug. [David] o [Nping] Fixed a bug which caused Nping to fail when targeting broadcast addresses (see http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q3/752). [Luis] o [Nping] Nping now limits concurrent open file descriptors properly based on the resources available on the host (see http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q4/2). [Luis] o [NSE] Improved ssh2's kex_init() parameters: all of the algorithm and language lists can be set using new keys in the "options" table argument. These all default to the same value used before. Also, the required "cookie" argument is now replaced by an optional "cookie" key in the "options" table, defaulting to random bytes as suggested by the RFC. [Kris] o Ncat now logs Nsock debug output to stderr instead of stdout for consistency with its other debug messages. [David] o [NSE] Added a new function, shortport.http, for HTTP script portrules and changed 14 scripts to use it. [David] o Updated to the latest config.guess and config.sub. Thanks to Ty Miller for a reminder. [David] o [NSE] Added prerule support to snmp-interfaces and the ability to add the remote host's interface addresses to the scanning queue. The new script arguments used for this functionality are "host" (required) and "port" (optional). [Kris] o Fixed some inconsistencies in nmap-os-db and a small memory leak that would happen where there was more than one round of OS detection. These were reported by Xavier Sudre from netVigilance. [David] o [NSE] Fixed a bug with worker threads calling the wrong destructors. Fixing this allows better parallelism in http-brute.nse. The problem was reported by Patrik Karlsson. [David, Patrick] o Upgraded the OpenSSL binaries shipped in our Windows installer to version 1.0.0a. [David] o [NSE] Added prerule support to the dns-zone-transfer script, allowing it to run early to discover IPs from DNS records and optionally add those IPs to Nmap's target queue. You must specify the DNS server and domain name to use with script arguments. [Djalal] o Changed the name of libdnet's sctp_chunkhdr to avoid a conflict with a struct of the same name in <netinet/sctp.h>. This caused a compilation error when Nmap was compiled with an OpenSSL that had SCTP support. [Olli Hauer, Daniel Roethlisberger] o [NSE] Implemented a big cleanup of the Nmap NSE Nsock library binding code. [Patrick] o Added a bunch of Apple and Netatalk AFP service detection signatures. These often provide extra details such as whether the target is a MacBook Pro, Air, Mac Mini, iMac, etc. [Brandon] o [NSE] Host tables now have a host.traceroute member available when --traceroute is used. This array contains the IP address, reverse DNS name, and RTT for each traceroute hop. [Henri Doreau] o [NSE] Made the ftp-anon script return a directory listing when anonymous login is allowed. [Gutek, David] o [NSE] Added the nmap.resolve() function. It takes a host name and optionally an address family (such as "inet") and returns a table containing all of its matching addresses. If no address family is specified, all addresses for the name are returned. [Kris] o [NSE] Added the nmap.address_family() function which returns the address family Nmap is using as a string (e.g., "inet6" is returned if Nmap is called with the -6 option). [Kris] o [NSE] Scripts can now access the MTU of the host.interface device using host.interface_mtu. [Kris] o Restrict the default Windows DLL search path by removing the current directory. This adds extra protection against DLL hijacking attacks, especially if we were to add file type associations to Nmap in the future. We implement this with the SetDllDirectory function when available (Windows XP SP1 and later). Otherwise, we call SetCurrentDirectory with the directory containing the executable. [David] o Nmap now prints the MTU for interfaces in --iflist output. [Kris] o [NSE] Removed references to the MD2 algorithm, which OpenSSL 1.x.x no longer supports. [Alexandru] o [Ncat,NSE] Server Name Indication (SNI) is now supported by Ncat and Nmap NSE, allowing them to connect to servers which run multiple SSL websites on one IP address. To enable this for NSE, the nmap.connect function has been changed to accept host and port tables (like those provided to the action function) in place of a string and a number. [David] o [NSE] Renamed db2-info and db2-brute scripts to drda-*. Added support other DRDA based databases such as IBM Informix Dynamic Server and Apache Derby. [Patrik] o [Nsock] Added a new function, nsi_set_hostname, to set the intended hostname of the target. This allows the use of Server Name Indication in SSL connections. [David] o [NSE] Limits the number of ports that qscan will scan (now up to 8 open ports and up to 1 closed port by default). These limits can be controlled with the qscan.numopen and qscan.numclosed script arguments. [David] o [NSE] Made sslv2.nse give special output when SSLv2 is supported, but no SSLv2 ciphers are offered. This happened with a specific Sendmail configuration. [Matt Selsky] o [NSE] Added a "times" table to the host table passed to scripts. This table contains Nmap's timing data (srtt, the smoothed round trip time; rttvar, the rtt variance; and timeout), all represented as floating-point seconds. The ipidseq and qscan scripts were updated to utilize the host's timeout value rather than using a conservative guess of 3 seconds for read timeouts. [Kris] o Fixed the fragmentation options (-f in Nmap, --mtu in Nmap & Nping), which were improperly sending whole packets in version 5.35DC1. [Kris] o [NSE] When receiving raw packets from Pcap, the packet capture time is now available to scripts as an additional return value from pcap_receive(). It is returned as the floating point number of seconds since the epoch. Also added the nmap.clock() function which returns the current time (and convenience functions clock_ms() and clock_us()). Qscan.nse was updated to use this more accurate timing data. [Kris] o [Ncat,Nsock] Fixed some minor bugs discovered using the Smatch source code analyzer (http://smatch.sourceforge.net/). [David] o [Zenmap] Fixed a crash that would happen after opening the search window, entering a relative date criterion such as "after:-7", and then clicking the "Expressions" button. The error message was AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'strftime' [David] o Added a new packet payload--a NAT-PMP external address request for port 5351/udp. Payloads help us elicit responses from listening UDP services to better distinguish them from filtered ports. This payload goes well with our new nat-pmp-info script. [David, Patrik] o Updated IANA IP address space assignment list for random IP (-iR) generation. [Kris] o [Ncat] Ncat now uses case-insensitive string comparison when checking authentication schemes and parameters. Florian Roth found a server offering "BASIC" instead of "Basic", and the HTTP RFC requires case-insensitive comparisons in most places. [David] o [NSE] There is now a limit of 1,000 concurrent running scripts, instituted to keep memory under control when there are many open ports. Nathan reported 3 GB of memory use (with an out-of-memory NSE crash) for one host with tens of thousands of open ports. This limit can be controlled with the variable CONCURRENCY_LIMIT in nse_main.lua. [David] o The command line in XML output (/nmaprun/@args attribute) now does quoting of whitespace using double quotes and backslashes. This allows recovering the original command line array even when arguments contain whitespace. [David] o Added a service detection probe for master servers of Quake 3 and related games.
