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.
