Nmap 7.10 released
Nmap 7.10 released: 12 new scripts, hundreds of OS/version fingerprints, bug fixes, and more!
Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, monitoring host or service uptime, and many other tasks. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping).
According to the release notes, which you need to read if you're curious to know what exactly has been implemented in this release, Nmap 7.10 brings 12 new NSE (Nmap Scripting Engine) scripts, hundreds of OS/version fingerprints, as well as a handful of under-the-hood improvements, along with fixes for some of the most important bugs.

"I'm pleased to announce the release of Nmap 7.10 with many great improvements," says Fyodor in today's announcement. "It's got 12 new NSE scripts, hundreds of new OS/version fingerprints, and dozens if smaller improvements and bug fixes. And that's not even counting the changes in Nmap 7.01, which we released in December 2015."
