The Win32 version of Nmap is still in an ALPHA/BETA stage of
development. If you find bugs, you are strongly encouraged to report
them to fyodor@insecure.org or nmap-dev@insecure.org . Patches are
very welcome too :).
I would like to thank the following people for doing most of the Win32
porting work:
Andy Lutomirski ( Luto@mailandnews.com )
Ryan Permeh ( ryan@eEye.com ) from eEye Digital Security ( www.eeye.com )
Nmap only exists for Win32 because of their hard work.
*** Known Issues/Bugs ***
== You cannot scan yourself (localhost). This is currently a WinPcap
limitation.
== Nmap does not work under Windows ME . This is a WinPcap
limitation.
== RAS connections (eg PPP, SLIP, etc) are not supported except under
Windows 2000. This is a WinPcap limitation on NT and it isn't
supported (yet) on Win98. Ethernet should work fine on all platforms.
== All interfaces (except localhost) should work under Windows 2000 as
administrator. If you have trouble under Win2K, try the
--win_norawsock switch.
== NmapFE (the GUI front end) has not yet been ported to Win32 .
*** Using the Binary Distribution ***
At some point this will be an easy install-shield app and may install
an icon and such for the graphical version of Nmap ( nmapfe ). But
for now, here is how to use the command line binaries available in
nmap-VERSION-win32.zip :
1) Make sure you have installed Winpcap Version 2.1-beta or later. This
is available at http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/ . It is
very important that you use version 2.1-beta or later. This is
optional, but recommended, under Windows 2000.
2) Unzip the archive using Winzip or your favorite decompression
utility -- a directory call nmap-VERSION will be extracted .
3) Open a command prompt (DOS) window and cd into the new nmap-VERSION
directory. Type "nmap -h" for usage information.
*** Compiling the Nmap Source Distribution for Windows ***
1) Decompress the archive ( nmap-VERSION.tgz ). This is the same
tarball that is used for UNIX installations.
2) Open Visual C++ 6 and then open the nmap workspace (
nmap-VERSION/mswin32/nmap.dsw )
3) Project Menu -> Set Active Project -> Nmap
Build Menu -> Set Active Configuration -> Nmap - Win32 Release
4) Press [F7] to build nmap.exe .
5) The executable can be found in
nmap-VERSION/mswin32/Release/nmap.exe . Remember that you must
have Winpcap Version2.1-beta or later installed to run it (see the
Binary Distribution instructions).
*** Compiling NmapFE Front-end for Windows **
1) Install the Windows versions of Glib, GDK, and GTK from
http://www.gimp.org/win32/ . Copy the DLLs somewhere that they can
be found ( if you don't have a better place, try c:\winnt\system32
). Also copy the include and .lib files to places where your
compiler can find them ( add the dir to VC++ via Tools -> Options
-> Directories ).
2) Use steps similar to the "compiling Nmap" list above to compile
NmapFE. The Workspace is in nmap-VERSION/nmapfe/nmapfe.dsw .
*** Final Worlds ***
As mentioned earlier, patches, suggestions, and improvements are more
than welcome! Send them to nmap-dev@insecure.org or to me personally
( fyodor@insecure.org ).
