Re: Nmap 7.40 broadcast-dhcp-discover issue Varunram Ganesh (Jan 30)
Seems like the transaction id of DHCP is not getting passed on properly to
the parsing function. Since its a bit difficult looking back into a release
that far, could you do git diff on nmap 7.12 (i.e. could you pull from
7.40SVN onto 7.12 and then do git diff) and attach it?

Cheers,
Varunram

Compile to one exe file Benoît Maudet (Jan 30)
Hello Nmap,

Is there a way to compile the last version of nmap into a single
(standalone) exe file?

It would be very useful to have a such version during penetration testing
audits.

Thanks,

Nmap 7.40 broadcast-dhcp-discover issue Steven Shiau (Jan 30)
Dear nmap developers,

I am using Nmap to detect DHCP service. However, there is an issue so it
detects no DHCP service, but actually the service exists on my LAN. The
testing environment is on Debian Sid with nmap version 7.40.

setup nmap development environment in Eclipse reza sadeghzadeh (Jan 28)
Dears,
I'm interested  in to discover how nmap detect  OS remotely https://nmap.org/book/osdetect.htmlI founded that If i
setup nmap in eclipse and run the code step by step is very helpful way to understand everything
my question  is that Is there any  manual or doc that help me to setup nmap in eclipse ?I've  imported nmap source in
eclispe in ubuntu but the problem is that alot dependency is not resolved.

I will appreciate...

Re: Making zenmap, ndiff, neat and nping compatible with 2to3 Varunram Ganesh (Jan 25)
I basically wrote a script which looked through all the subdirectories and ran futurize -wn <script-name>.py on them.
And yeah, old_div is not required on the last example, don't know how that went wrong. I got the mistake regarding
raw_input() though. Seems I ran the script twice on that particular file. 
Another problem I'm facing is regarding the Makefile. I keep getting "make[3]: Nothing to be done for...

Re: Making zenmap, ndiff, neat and nping compatible with 2to3 David Fifield (Jan 25)
I looked over the diff and it mostly seems all right.

Could you send a record of the commands you ran in order to make these
changes?

This change looks wrong (in nping/nping-dev/ipv6fp.py and elsewhere):
- addr=raw_input(" |_ Target's IPv6 address: ")
+ addr=eval(input(" |_ Target's IPv6 address: "))
Did 2to3 really make this change? python2's raw_eval does not eval. This
is a dangerous change...

Re: Begining optimisation and improving performance SHIKHAR SRIVASTAVA (Jan 25)
Hi,

Thanks a lot for the link. I understand the way of working now. I want to
know if there is some area that needs investigation for performance
improvement, I am searching the code base myself but if there is something
specific that can be assigned, it would be great.

Cheers
Shikhar

Making zenmap, ndiff, neat and nping compatible with 2to3 Varunram Ganesh (Jan 25)
I tried to make the existing python2 code be compatible with python3 via 2to3. However, I have a few issues with the
Makefile. Any idea as to what to do?

Begining optimisation and improving performance SHIKHAR SRIVASTAVA (Jan 24)
Hi,

I am strong in C/C++, data structures and algorithms. I am interested in
network programming and using nmap for a while and want to contribute in
nmap. I need some help as to where to start ? I would mainly like to
optimise the components for greater efficiency.

Thanks

Re: Regarding pull requests on Github Varunram Ganesh (Jan 23)
We could do what Jacek suggested or have a dedicated page for patches (maybe using gerrit) where the committers can
assign a test bot and review code. That way, both the contributors at SVN and github will have access to the latest
patches. _______________________________________________

Re: "Ncat: Input/output error" when connecting to instalator.upc.pl:443 Daniel Miller (Jan 23)
Jacek,

I confirmed the problem, which is caused by the server simply disconnecting
without issuing a TLS alert message after receiving our Client Hello. After
correcting a problem with Ncat (--ssl-ciphers was not being used in client
mode, only in server/listen mode) I found that by reducing the number of
ciphers offered (changing the cipher list from default
'ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:@STRENGTH' to...

Re: Netcat powershell bug? Daniel Miller (Jan 23)
Efrat,

I'm afraid I don't have a solution, but I can guess at the source of the
problem: Ncat does execution by redirecting the three primary I/O streams
to the TCP connection: stdin, stdout, and stderr. Powershell, on the other
hand, has many more output streams. It has streams for progress indication,
logging, error, output, and more. Ncat probably is just not handling this
properly. Also, if it's anything like some Linux...
