Updates

Several people asked whether Nmap Network Scanningis still up to date, particularly after the release ofNmap 5.00. The good news is that virtually all of thecontent remains accurate. But we have added some new features andNSE scripts which aren't yet documented in NNS.

For a comprehensive and completely current view of Nmap, Irecommend reading Nmap Network Scanning first, then read all thechangelog entries we've produced since the book was finished. Thebook is completely up-to-date with Nmap 4.76. So after (or before)you're done reading Nmap Network Scanning, visittheNmap changelog and searchin the file for “Nmap 4.76”. Read each item upward from there(scrolling backward) until you get to the top.

December 10, 2008: Amazon has now indexed this book as part oftheir “Search Inside” program. While Amazon intends thisas a marketing tool for prospective buyers, it can be even more usefulfor folks who already own the book. While we're proud of our index,Search Inside can help find more obscure terms or combinations of them. You can try this out by visitingtheAmazonNNS page, scrolling down to the Search Inside box, and typing in aterm such as Trinity or Microsoft.

December 9, 2008: Sales were so high that Amazon ran out of stock in the US, UK, and Germany. They say it may take a week or more to ship. Amazon still offers a great price, but for those who can't wait, I've added apurchasing options section. It includes vendor such as A1Books and Barnes & Noble with NNS in stock now.

Amazon will probably refund the difference per their "Pre-order price guarantee", but it might be safer to wait. Book seller BOOKSPLUSMORESTUFF claims to have the book "in stock" on Amazon for $53.94 including shipping. That may or may not be true.
