NMAP has released the latest version on this new year which has many improved features with added scripts. This release is named as release 5.61TEST4. The version number may not sound that different than the previous 5.61TEST2, but it has made many big improvements in the last three months. Some of the improvements are listed below:

• a spidering library and associated scripts for crawling websites.


• 51 new NSE scripts, bringing the total to 297.


• a substantial decrease in the size of the Mac OS X installer due to the removal of PPC support.


• a new vulnerability management library which stores and reports found vulnerabilities.


• Mac OS X packages are now x86-only (rather than universal), reducing the download size from 30 MB to about 17.
