El Nmap ha cumplido 10 años desde su primera versión publica en 1997 y por esta razón han decidido publicar una versión especial de aniversario la 4.50.
En el anuncio publicado por Fyodor nos comenta de lo orgulloso que esta por alcanzar 10 años con el nmap y que todavía funcione de maravilla, de las apariciones del nmap en el cine (ya son 5 las películas) y de las nuevas características que incluye el nmap.
Entre las nuevas (son 320 cambios desde su versión 4.00) características del Nmap podemos encontrar:
- Nueva interfaz gráfica y de los resultados de visualización (Zenmap)
- Motor de scripting que le permite escribir sus propios scripts de alto rendimiento (o utilizar uno de los 40 scripts que están incluidos)
- La 2 ª generación del sistema de detección OS (ahora con Más de un millar de huellas digitales), casi 1500 más
- Detección de firmas, y mucho más!

La nueva interfase del Nmap (ZENMAP)
Aquí les dejo el anuncio completo que hizo Fyodor en la lista de correo del Nmap:
Hi everyone. I’m proud to say that Nmap has reached its 10th
anniversary since I released it in 1997, and it is still going strong!
To celebrate that, Nmap 4.50 has been released. It is the first
stable release in more than a year (there have been dozens of dev
releases), and the first major release since 4.00 two years ago.In related good news, the movie Bourne Ultimatum was released to DVD
on Tuesday, and is currently the 3rd highest selling DVD on Amazon.
In this movie, the CIA needs to hack the mail server of a newspaper
(The Guardian UK) to read the email of a reporter they
assassinated. So they turn to Nmap and its new official GUI Zenmap
(part of the 4.50 release)! I have screenshots up on
http://insecure.org . Nmap has now appeared in at least five
movies–it has become quite the movie star!The changelog shows 320 changes since 4.00 with a lot of great stuff
in this release! It has a brand new GUI and results viewer (Zenmap),
a scripting engine allowing you to write your own scripts for
high-performance network discovery (or use one of the 40 scripts
shipped with it), the 2nd generation OS detection system (now with
more than a thousand fingerprints), nearly 1,500 more version
detection signatures, and a lot more! You can read the full release
announcement, which describes the changes as well as future plans,
right here:http://insecure.org/stf/Nmap-4.50-Release.html
Or if you are ready to jump right in, head to the download page:

We don’t have an ad budget, so please help spread the word about the
new Nmap. The 4.00 release made Slashdot, Digg, etc. and this release
is even better! (ayudemos a difundir la noticia)
And of course be sure to try it out yourself! Let us know on the
nmap-dev list if you encounter any problems. See

Fyodor
