Hello everyone.  I'm back from Defcon and excited to announce the new Nmap7.60 release!  It has only been a month and a half since 7.50, but we stillpacked a lot into this one.  Mostly because we have such an awesome GSoCteam of 8 students and mentors working on so many cool projects.  Theprogram hasn't even ended yet, but much of their work has already beenintegrated into this release.One of the things I'm most excited about is ssh support.  Nmap scripts cannow perform brute force SSH password cracking, query servers about whatauth methods and public keys they accept, and even log in using known ordiscovered credentials to execute arbitrary commands.  We're including fourscripts to start out with, and it opens the door to many more futurecapabilities!  This was the product of three summers of GSoC studentsbuilding on each other's work until we finally have something portable(works on Linux, Windows, Mac, etc.) and reliable enough to include.  Madprops to the students Devin Bjelland (2014), Sergey Khegay (2016), andEvangelos Deirmentzoglou (2017) as well as their mentors Patrick Donnellyand Fotis "Ithilgore" Hantzis!Oh, we also have 14 (!) new NSE scripts, and a bunch of great SMB2/SMB3improvements by Paulino Calderon.  This release also includes our new Npcap0.93 which resolves an issue where the Microsoft Windows 10 Creators Updatewas breaking Npcap and impairing Nmap functionality.  There's a lot more,so I'll end this email with the full list.Nmap 7.60 source code and binary packages for Linux, Windows, and Mac areavailable for free download from the usual spot:https://nmap.org/download.htmlIf you find any bugs in this release, please let us know on the Nmap Devlist or bug tracker as described at https://nmap.org/book/man-bugs.html.Here is the full list of significant changes since Nmap 7.50: [Windows] Updated the bundled Npcap from 0.91 to 0.93, fixing severalissues with installation and compatibility with the Windows 10 CreatorsUpdate. [NSE][GH#910] NSE scripts now have complete SSH support via libssh3,including password brute-forcing and running remote commands, thanks to thecombined efforts of three Summer of Code students: [Devin Bjelland, SergeyKhegay, Evangelos Deirmentzoglou] [NSE] Added 14 NSE scripts from 6 authors, bringing the total up to 579!They are all listed at https://nmap.org/nsedoc/, and the summaries arebelow:   - ftp-syst sends SYST and STAT commands to FTP servers to get system   version and connection information. [Daniel Miller]   - [GH#916] http-vuln-cve2017-8917 checks for an SQL injection   vulnerability affecting Joomla! 3.7.x before 3.7.1. [Wong Wai Tuck]   - iec-identify probes for the IEC 60870-5-104 SCADA protocol. [Aleksandr   Timorin, Daniel Miller]   - [GH#915] openwebnet-discovery retrieves device identifying information   and number of connected devices running on openwebnet protocol. [Rewanth   Cool]   - puppet-naivesigning checks for a misconfiguration in the Puppet CA   where naive signing is enabled, allowing for any CSR to be automatically   signed. [Wong Wai Tuck]   - [GH#943] smb-protocols discovers if a server supports dialects NT LM   0.12 (SMBv1), 2.02, 2.10, 3.00, 3.02 and 3.11. This replaces the old   smbv2-enabled script. [Paulino Calderon]   - [GH#943] smb2-capabilities lists the supported capabilities of   SMB2/SMB3 servers. [Paulino Calderon]   - [GH#943] smb2-time determines the current date and boot date of SMB2   servers. [Paulino Calderon]   - [GH#943] smb2-security-mode determines the message signing   configuration of SMB2/SMB3 servers. [Paulino Calderon]   - [GH#943] smb2-vuln-uptime attempts to discover missing critical   patches in Microsoft Windows systems based on the SMB2 server uptime.   [Paulino Calderon]   - ssh-auth-methods lists the authentication methods offered by an SSH   server. [Devin Bjelland]   - ssh-brute performs brute-forcing of SSH password credentials. [Devin   Bjelland]   - ssh-publickey-acceptance checks public or private keys to see if they   could be used to log in to a target. A list of known-compromised key pairs   is included and checked by default. [Devin Bjelland]   - ssh-run uses user-provided credentials to run commands on targets via   SSH. [Devin Bjelland] [NSE] Removed smbv2-enabled, which was incompatible with the new SMBv2/3improvements. It was fully replaced by the smb-protocols script. [Ncat][GH#446] Added Datagram TLS (DTLS) support to Ncat in connect(client) mode with --udp --ssl. Also added Application Layer ProtocolNegotiation (ALPN) support with the --ssl-alpn option. [Denis Andzakovic,Daniel Miller] Updated the default ciphers list for Ncat and the secure ciphers list forNsock to use "!aNULL:!eNULL" instead of "!ADH". With the addition of ECDHciphersuites, anonymous ECDH suites were being allowed. [Daniel Miller] [NSE][GH#930] Fix ndmp-version and ndmp-fs-info when scanning VeritasBackup Exec Agent 15 or 16. [Andrew Orr] [NSE][GH#943] Added new SMB2/3 library and related scripts. [PaulinoCalderon] [NSE][GH#950] Added wildcard detection to dns-brute. Only hostnames thatresolve to unique addresses will be listed. [Aaron Heesakkers] [NSE] FTP scripts like ftp-anon and ftp-brute now correctly handleTLS-protected FTP services and use STARTTLS when necessary. [Daniel Miller] [NSE][GH#936] Function url.escape no longer encodes so-called"unreserved" characters, including hyphen, period, underscore, and tilde,as per RFC 3986. [nnposter] [NSE][GH#935] Function http.pipeline_go no longer assumes that persistentconnections are supported on HTTP 1.0 target (unless the target explicitlydeclares otherwise), as per RFC 7230. [nnposter] [NSE][GH#934] The HTTP response object has a new member, version, whichcontains the HTTP protocol version string returned by the server, e.g."1.0". [nnposter] [NSE][GH#938] Fix handling of the objectSID Active Directory attribute byldap.lua. [Tom Sellers] [NSE] Fix line endings in the list of Oracle SIDs used byoracle-sid-brute. Carriage Return characters were being sent in theconnection packets, likely resulting in failure of the script. [AnantShrivastava] [NSE][GH#141] http-useragent-checker now checks for changes in HTTPstatus (usually 403 Forbidden) in addition to redirects to indicateforbidden User Agents.
