Nmap 5.20 Released 36

Posted by Soulskill from the more-and-better dept.
ruphus13 writes "Nmap has a new release out, and it's a major one. It includes a GUI front-end called Zenmap, and, according to the post, 'Network admins will no doubt be excited to learn that Nmap is now ready to identify Snow Leopard systems, Android Linux smartphones, and Chumbies, among other OSes that Nmap can now identify. This release also brings an additional 31 Nmap Scripting Engine scripts, bringing the total collection up to 80 pre-written scripts for Nmap. The scripts include X11 access checks to see if X.org on a system allows remote access, a script to retrieve and print an SSL certificate, and a script designed to see whether a host is serving malware. Nmap also comes with netcat and Ndiff. Source code and binaries are available from the Nmap site, including RPMs for x86 and x86_64 systems, and binaries for Windows and Mac OS X. '"

They're sending the email address, username and password to Nokia to do determine right settings (servername etc) for the email account. I suppose they have some sort of database of email settings for common email providers. Of course, we all know that they have to have the username and password, the domain part of the email address wouldn't be enough. I don't feel like a proud Finn right now. I'm also not very happy to deal with the issue, since I do it-support to a company that recently got few of these new fancy smart phones and is using them for email too. No use to set up SSL both ways, thanks to backdoors in the device.
