!! Exclusive !! THC-Amap v5.3 released (Now UDP IPv6 Support)
This Article is (c) VulnerabilityDatabase.com.
Amap was innovative – the first tool to perform application protocol detection. Then a better approach was implemented into nmap, this and the large user base of nmap made amap pretty much obsolete.
So today, I recommend to rather use nmap -sV for application fingerprinting rather than amap (although in some circumstances amap will yield better results, but these are rare). Still, after 5 years there is an update to amap. The reason for this is IPv6. nmap still does not have a good IPv6 support, e.g. UDP port scanning is not possible. Hence for this v5.3 release in April 2011 that enhances amap to perform better UDP IPv6 support (before only application fingerprinting did work here, now the port scanning feature works too). Note that the web update feature has been disabled, as amap is outdated and not supported anymore.
CHANGELOG for 5.3 (April 2011):
- This is a release to fix IPv6 UDP port scanning as no other tool
- currently exists to do that.
- Beside this, amap is outdated, and nmap should be prefered
- Fixed UDP port scanning for IPv6
- Disabled web update
- added printing of [] brackets around IPv6 addresses (required)
- Fixed a bug in amapcrap that the trigger would not display correctly
