This is a test packaging of Nmap and Zenmap for Mac OS X. It is meant to
work on both Intel and PowerPC Macs running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
Nmap is a free and open source utility for network exploration and security auditing. Zenmap is a multi-platform graphical frontend and results viewer for Nmap.
We are distributing this in the hope of creating a really great
distribution of Nmap and Zenmap on the Mac, and for that we need your
help. Please try it out and send comments and suggestions to
nmap-dev@insecure.org.
This package contains Nmap and Zenmap. It is intended to work on Intel and PowerPC Macs running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
The nmap command-line binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin, and
additional support files will be installed in /usr/local/libexec and
/usr/local/share.
Installation of both Nmap and Zenmap is optional. Unselect Zenmap to get just the command-line tool. Unselect Nmap if you prefer to use a copy of Nmap that is already installed. Zenmap will not work without Nmap.
Zenmap is installed as an application bundle in
/Applications/Zenmap.app.
Known issues:
The authorization dialog that is displayed when the application is
started is confusing. If the user is an administrator, it says "Zenmap
requires that you type your password.", but it's not required. Selecting
Cancel will run Zenmap without privileges. If the user is not an
administrator, it says "Type an administrator's name and password to
allow Zenmap to make changes.", but what's really being asked for
low-level access to network hardware. The operating system does not
provide a way to change the text on these dialogs.
Changes in the test package:
zenmap-4.60-test1 (April 8, 2008)
Initial release. Distributed as a disk image containing the
Zenmap application bundle only.
nmap-4.60-test2 (April 30, 2008)
Now a metapackage that installs both Nmap and Zenmap. Built
against MacPorts 1.7.0, targeting Mac OS X 10.4 with the 10.4u
SDK. Zenmap looks for nmap in /usr/local/bin by default. More
careful escaping of configuration files allows running from a
directory with spaces in the name.
nmap-4.60-test3 (May 2, 2008)
Fixes a syntax error with Python 2.3. This version is linked
against a version of GLib that is patched to work on PowerPC.
nmap-4.62-test4 (May 3, 2008)
This release is built with upstream py2app, not the version that
Apple distributes. The Apple version is build to run only on Mac
OS X 10.5.
nmap-4.62-test5 (May 8, 2008)
This release is built against the X11 libraries from the 10.4u
SDK.
nmap-4.62-test6 (May 9, 2008)
This release fixes two libraries that were being built against
the 10.5 SDK: OpenSSL and Cairo.
nmap-4.62-test7 (May 10, 2008)
This release attempts to automatically launch X11 if it's not
already running.
nmap-4.62-test8 (May 20, 2008)
This release prompts for a password to allow running as root.
nmap-4.62-test9 (May 21, 2008)
This release fixes a file name case bug that kept the
application from running from a filesystem with case sensitivity
enabled.
The nmap command-line binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin, and additional support files will be installed in /usr/local/libexec and /usr/local/share. The Zenmap application bundle will be installed in /Applications/Zenmap.app.
