NMAP v 4.75 is out now!

 

A new version (4.75) of the popular network scanner is available for download now. This version of Nmap allows for a neat graphical representation of your scan results through Zenmap. The network topology is shown in the form of concentric circles indicating the distance between the scanned host and your computer from where the scan originates. Each concentric circle here represents a hop. Hosts are represented in the form of circles of different sizes and the more number the number of open ports in a host, the bigger is the size of the circle that represents it. Images of the Zenmap features along with their explanation can be found here.

 

 

 

Apart from the graphical representation of network topology and some other new features. This latest version of Nmap contains many new OS signatures which should improve the accuracy of results. I will be very shortly using this version of Nmap on one of my penetration testing assignments and post more if required. If you have used it already in any of your scans, do share your insights on this blog!
