nmap 4.20 released

The very best network mapping tool is getting even better. This is the
latest release of nmap changelog.


# Nmap Changelog ($Id: CHANGELOG 4229 2006-12-08 03:02:09Z fyodor $)

o Updated nmap-mac-prefixes to reflect the latest OUI DB from the IEEE
(http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt) as of December 7.

4.20

o Integrated the latest OS fingerprint submissions. The 2nd
generation DB size has grown to 231 fingerprints. Please keep them
coming! New fingerprints include Mac OS X Server 10.5 pre-release,
NetBSD 4.99.4, Windows NT, and much more.

o Fixed a segmentation fault in the new OS detection system
which was reported by Craig Humphrey and Sebastian Garcia.

o Fixed a TCP sequence prediction difficulty indicator bug. The index
is supposed to go from 0 ("trivial joke") to about 260 (OpenBSD).
But some systems generated ISNs so insecurely that Nmap went
berserk and reported a negative difficulty index. This generally
only affects some printers, crappy cable modems, and Microsoft
Windows (old versions). Thanks to Sebastian Garcia for helping me
track down the problem.
