Okay, so lately we got a new Nmap version 6.25 which has better support in detecting Windows 7 services and Windows 8. For full change log at Nmap you can click here. Now, since it has not been pushed in the repository, and it can for now be updates only by SubVersion we built this for you. This will detect local Nmap version and latest Nmap version and will download the tarball, decompress it and compile it.
You can get it directly via wget from here.
#! /bin/bash
# Moving to temporary directory to prevent junking the system
cd /tmp
curr_ver=`nmap -V | grep version`
curr_ver=`echo ${curr_ver:13:4}`
# Getting new Latest Nmap version
