Nmap 4.75 released

Hi Everyone.  Fyodor delighted to report the release of Nmap 4.75, which
has almost 100 significant improvements since 4.68.  Some which fyodor
most excited about are:

• While Nmap stands for “Network Mapper”, it hasn’t been able to actually draw you a map of the network–until now! Visit http://nmap.org/book/zenmap-topology.html for details and pretty pictures of Zenmap’s new Scan Topology system.
• Fyodor spent much of this summer scanning tens of millions of IPs on the Internet (plus collecting data contributed by some enterprises) to determine the most commonly open ports.  Nmap now uses that  empirical data to scan more effectively.

And there is much more, from hundreds of new OS detection fingerprints
to many new Nmap Scripting Engine scripts and libraries.  I had no
idea how many people still used Windows 2000 until 4.68 came out
broken on that platform and I was flooded with email!  That is fixed
now.  And its just one of many bug fixes and performance improvements
in this release.  Remember that we had 7 Google SoC students working
full-time this summer, and this release includes some of their best
work.
