The Insecure.org developers have announced the release of version 5.20 of Nmap, their popular network scanner and mapper. According to the developers, this first stable update since Nmap 5.00, released last July, includes more than 150 "significant improvements".
In addition to reduced memory consumption and performance improvements, Nmap 5.20 features protocol-specific payloads for more effective UDP scanning and the addition of 31 new Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) scripts, bringing the total to 80. NSE allows users to create scripts to automate several common network tasks. For better performance, the traceroute engine has been completely rewritten and now sends probes in parallel to individual hosts – previously it would send probes across all hosts.
