NMAP 4.00 for Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy)
Posted 2 years, 8 months ago at 8:30 pm. 0 comments
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 4.00 .deb files, with gtk2 and fixed menu icon.
