Nmap full changelog

Integrated many of the most-frequently-submitted IPv4 and IPv6 OS fingerprints, as well as dozens of updated service fingerprints.
Upgraded included libraries: OpenSSL 3.0.19, libpcap 1.10.6, libpcre2 10.47, liblinear 2.50, zlib 1.3.2
[Windows]Upgraded the included version of Npcap from 1.83 to 1.87, resolving several crashes and stability-related issues. See https://npcap.com/changelog
[Zenmap][GH#3182]Zenmap is now distributed as a universal wheel (zenmap-7.99-py3-none-any.whl) instead of an RPM package so that it can be installed on any system with Python 3. [Daniel Miller]
[Ncat][Windows]Limited the number of handles inherited by subprocesses launched with -e, preventing interference between clients when -e and --keep-open are used. Reported by Nimish Verma.
[Ncat]Several fixes for regressions or longstanding failure cases in ncat-test.pl [Daniel Miller]:
[Windows]Fixed handling of socket EOF with --exec
Fixed the -i (idle timeout) option for listen mode, which was broken when adding the -q option in Ncat 7.96
Fixed HTTP proxy server when SSL is used.
DTLS (SSL over UDP) shutdown connection on stdin EOF.
[Windows][GH#2711]Nmap now supports scanning over various VPN virtual adapters like OpenVPN TAP adapters. [Daniel Miller]
[GH#3280]Fix a performance regression in reverse-DNS in Nmap 7.98. The fix for #3130 had caused Nmap to send requests too slowly. [Daniel Miller]
[Zenmap][GH#3189]Fix a crash in Zenmap topology and hosts viewer: "TypeError: format requires a mapping" [Daniel Miller]
[GH#2955]Fix a routing issue with -e and -S related to #2206 causing error "setup_target: failed to determine route" [Daniel Miller]
[GH#3214]Improve compatibility of build process on various platforms and add multiplatform autobuilds in Github workflow. [Jordan Ritter]
[NSE][GH#2183][GH#3239]Script hostmap-crtsh now reports only true subdomains of a given target hostname by default. In the past, it was reporting any DNS name that included the target hostname a

[Zenmap][GH#3087]Fix a crash when starting a scan on Windows in locales that use non-latin character sets. Also changed Nmap to print the time zone as an offset from UTC instead of as a localized string. [Daniel Miller]
Fixed an issue with the parallel forward DNS resolver: it had not been consulting /etc/hosts, nor did it correctly handle the 'localhost' name. [Daniel Miller]
[GH#3088]Mitigate a false-positive detection by replacing a malicious URL in the example output of http-malware-host [nnposter]

Upgraded included libraries: OpenSSL 3.0.16, Lua 5.4.7, libssh2 1.11.1, libpcap 1.10.5, libpcre2 10.45
[Windows]Upgraded the included version of Npcap from version 1.79 to the latest version 1.82, bringing faster packet injection, VLAN header capture, and support for SR-IOV adapters, along with many other bug fixes and feature enhancements described at https://npcap.com/changelog
[GH#1451]Nmap now performs forward DNS lookups in parallel, using the same engine that has been reliably performing reverse-DNS lookups for nearly a decade. Scanning large lists of hostnames is now enormously faster and avoids the unresponsive wait for blocking system calls, so progress stats can be shown. In testing, resolving 1 million website names to both IPv4 and IPv6 took just over an hour. The previous system took 49 hours for the same data set! [Daniel Miller]
[Nping][GH#2862]Promoted Nping version number from a 0.7.95 alpha release to the same release version as Nmap.
[Zenmap][GH#2358]Added dark mode, accessed via Profile->Toggle Dark Mode or window::dark_mode in zenmap.conf. [Daniel Miller]
[NSE]Added 3 new scripts, for a total of 612 NSE scripts:
[GH#2973]mikrotik-routeros-version queries MikroTik's WinBox router admin service to get the RouterOS version. New service probes were also added for this service. [deauther890, Daniel Miller]
mikrotik-routeros-username-brute brute-forces WinBox usernames for the router using CVE-2024-54772. [deauther890]
targets-ipv6-eui64 generates target IPv6 addresses from a user-provided file of MAC addresses, using the EUI-64 method. [Daniel Miller]
[GH#2982]Fixed an issue preventing the Nmap OEM 7.95 uninstaller from correctly uninstalling Nmap OEM.
[GH#2139][Nsock][Windows]Fixed the IOCP Nsock engine, which had been demoted since Nmap 7.91 due to unresolved issues around SSL sockets and IPv6. [Daniel Miller]
[GH#2113]Fixed the issue where TCP Connect scans (-sT) on Windows would show 'filtered' instead of 'closed', due to differences in unders

[Windows] The Npcap Windows packet capturing library (https://npcap.org/) is faster and more stable than ever. Nmap 7.80 updates the bundled Npcap from version 0.99-r2 to 0.9982, including all of these changes from the last 15 Npcap releases: https://nmap.org/npcap/changelog
