Nmap 7.50 Released

[Rob]

Nmap has included hundreds of improvements in this latest update - its first big release since December.

"... Another priority for Nmap 7.50 was improving our Nmap Scripting Engine. For example, we were one of the first scanners to release a detection script for the MS17-010 vulnerability exploited by the Wannacry ransomeware and we hope it helped many people prevent infection."

Also includes:

• 300 new service detection fingerprints
• Improvements to Nmap's family of related tools such as Ncat
• Dozens of other enhancements and bug fixes
