Complete rewrite of nmap (version 3.70)
Rush to your friendly neightbourhood insecure.org and pick up a copy of the new nmap 3.70. As fyodor himself puts it:
"This release includes dozens of major changes, and all users are advised to update. "
nmap is now much faster and supports parallel scanning of hosts ! This allows you to distribute a scan better, and is lighter on the target systems as well. There is also a fix for using it on systems with Windows SP2 (which broke raw sockets).
From whatever testing I've done with the new version, it seems really good. The increase in speed is really awesome. This has all happened because the main port scanning engine has been rewritten from scratch.
Go ahead and download
