Nmap and Nessus on my laptop are my best friends for keeping my Windows boxes at work secure. Nmap is the quickest way to search a subnet for any unusual open ports.
The version of Nmap that comes with Breezy is a little old, and also uses gtk1 (bleech). Another problem is that the menu icon does not launch nmap as a sudo privilege app, therefore nmap does not allow all its features to work.
Here are instructions for installing my Nmap 3.93 deb files, with gtk2 and fixed menu icon.
Changes 11/10/2005:
Rebuilt from Dapper source instead of Debian Sid source. Not making a backport since I do change the Dapper source to add the gtk2 patch.
Added my copy of source.
1. Get files
wget -c http://mikesplanet.net/deb/nmap_3.93-1~dmb_i386.deb
wget -c http://mikesplanet.net/deb/nmapfe_3.93-1~dmb_i386.deb
wget -c http://mikesplanet.net/deb/nmap-logo-64.png
2. Install Files
sudo dpkg -i nmap_3.93-1~dmb_i386.deb nmapfe_3.93-1~dmb_i386.deb
3. Copy Icon Pixmap
sudo cp nmap-logo-64.png /usr/share/pixmaps
4. Restart Gnome Panel
killall gnome-panel
The source can be found here:
wget -c http://mikesplanet.net/src/nmap_3.93-1~dmb.tar.gz
Let me know if you have any problems.
