Nmap Out of Date

[DrDinosaur]

When I try typing "nmap" into my SSH session in the pineapple, it appears nmap is only version 6.01 and not the latest 6.40. Can I update nmap (easily [and if so, how?]) and would that update affect the current nmap infusion? Thanks!

I think you have to wait for the Hak5 team to push an update into their packages. Found this on the openwrt dev site:

https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/packages/net/nmap/

"[packages] nmap: upgrade to 6.40 Signed-off-by: Peter Wagner …" 5 months ago.

Also a makefile:

Interesting notes in the TODO. 100x slower? I checked out the busybox link, and there has been no activity on it since 2011. I'm going to post a ping.

Edit: There hasn't been alot of updates in Nmap in the openwrt dev section. There was a 10 month lull, and a jump from 6.01 -> 6.40.
