I'm indeed giving a trip to Vegas that weekend some serious thought =)

BTW I bought Fyodor's Nmap book and love it.

>
> o [Ncat] When receiving a connection/datagram in listen mode, Ncat now
>  prints the connecting source port along with the IP address (when
>  verbosity is enabled). [Rebellis]
>
> o Fixed a problem where the time variable used in some port scanning
>  algorithms (for probe timeouts, etc) could vary based on the
>  debugging level. [Kris]
>
> o Moved the parse_long function from ncat to nbase for better reuse,
>  and used it to simplify netmask parsing code. [William Pursell]
>
> o Added EPROTO to the list of known error codes in service scan. Daniel
>  Miller reported that an EPROTO was causing Nmap to exit after sending
>  the Sqlping probe during service scan. The error message was
>  "Unexpected error in NSE_TYPE_READ callback. Error code: 71 (Protocol
>  error)". We suspect this was caused by a forged ICMP packet sent by an
>  active firewall. [David]
>
> o [NSE] Improved smtp-commands.nse to work against more mail servers,
>  made it take an smtp-commands.domain script argument, and rewrote it
>  in the style of other smtp scripts. [Jason DePriest]
>
> o [NSE] Made smtp-commands run for the services smtp, smtps,
>  submission rather than just smtp.  The other smtp scripts already do
>  this. [David]
>
> o [NSE] The dns-recursion script now marks the port as open when it
>  gets a response. [Olivier M]
>
> o [Nping] A big correctness and code cleanliness audit was performed
>  which resulted in many bugs being fixed and much more code being
>  shared with Nmap rather than duplicated. A structured testing

> o [NSE] Added script arguments "username" and "password" to ftp-bounce
>  to override the default anonymous:IEUser@ login combination. [Kris]
>
> o [NSE] Added port number sorting to dns-service-discovery.nse. [Patrik]
>
> o [NSE] Added an snmpWalk() function to the SNMP library and updated

> o [NSE] Fixed this dns.lua error reported by Eugene Alexeev:
>  nselib/dns.lua:110: attempt to get length of field 'dtype' (a number value)
>  [Jah]
>
> o Updated nmap-mac-prefixes to the latest IEEE data as of 2010-07-13.
>
> o Updated IANA IP address space assignment list for random IP (-iR)
>  generation. [Kris]
>
> o Created a new directory for storing todo lists for Nmap and related
>  projects.  You can see what we're working on and planning by
>  visiting http://nmap.org/svn/todo/.
>
> o [NSE] Removed explicit time limit checking from ms-sql-brute,
>  pgsql-brute, mysql-brute, ldap-brute, and afp-brute. The unpwdb
>  library does this automatically now. [David]
>
> o [NSE] Correct global access errors in afp.lua reported by Patrick Donnelly
>  [Patrik]
>
> o [NSE] Correct misspelled "Capabilities.IgnoreSpaceBeforeParanthesis"
>  name in the MySQL library. [Kris]
>
> o Cleaned up our Winpcap header file directory, and also updated to
>  the latest files from the official developer pack
>  (WpdPack_4_1_1.zip). [Fyodor]
>
> o [NSE] Fixed a bug which would prevent rpcinfo.nse from returning any
>  results for RPC programs which could not be matched to a
>  name. [Patrik]
>
> o [NSE] The ftp-anon script is now much smarter about parsing server
>  responses and detecting successful (or not) logins.  It now knows
>  how to send the ACCT command where appropriate as well. [Rob
>  Nicholls]
>
> o Normalized a bunch of version detection entries with "webserver" in
>  the description.  In most cases this was changed to "httpd".
>
> o [Ncat] Fixed the --crlf option not to insert an extra \r byte in the
>  case that one system read ends with \r and the next begins with \n
>  (should be rare). [David]
