Install Network Mapper and Scanner on Linux Ubuntu Systems. Nmap (Network Mapper) is a security scanner. It is used to discover hosts and services on a computer network.
Nmap 7.11 is the latest version of the Nmap network scanner. Nmap 7.11 has been released with the following changes:
- Added support for diffie-hellman-group-exchange-* SSH key exchange methods to ssh2.lua, allowing ssh-hostkey to run on servers that only support custom Diffie-Hellman groups.
- Added support in sslcert.lua for Microsoft SQL Server’s TDS protocol, so you can now grab certs with ssl-cert or check ciphers with ssl-enum-ciphers.
- Fix a crash when setting default window geometry:
- Fix a crash when displaying the date from an Nmap XML file due to an empty or unknown locale.
- Fix a crash due to incorrect file paths when installing to /usr/local prefix.
