About Nmap
Nmap is a widely used free and open-source network scanner.
The utility is used for network inventorying, port scanning, managing service upgrade schedules, monitoring host or service uptime, etc.

It works on most operating systems: Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, and BSD.

Nmap 7.90
First and foremost, Nmap 7.90 comes with Npcap 1.0.0, the first completely stable version of the raw packet capturing/sending driver for Windows.

Prior to Npcap, Nmap used Winpcap, but the driver hasn’t been updated since 2013, didn’t always work on Windows 10, and depended on long-deprecated Windows APIs.

“While we created Npcap for Nmap, it turns out that many other projects and companies had the same need. Wireshark switched to Npcap with their big 3.0.0 release last February, and Microsoft publicly recommends Npcap for their Azure ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) product,” Lyon explained.

Nmap 7.90 also comes with:

New fingerprints for better OS and service/version detection

3 new NSE scripts, new protocol libraries and payloads for host discovery, port scanning and version detection

70+ smaller bug fixes and improvements

Build system upgrades and code quality improvements

“We also created a special ‘Nmap OEM Edition’ for the companies who license Nmap to handle host discovery within their products. We have been selling such licenses for more than 20 years and it’s about time OEM’s have an installer more customized to their needs,” Lyon added.

Nmap 7.93 - 25th Anniversary Release!

Twenty five years ago today, I released the first version of Nmap in a Phrack article named The Art of Port Scanning (https://nmap.org/p51-11.html).
I never thought I'd still be at it a quarter of a century later, but that's because I also didn't anticipate such a wonderful community of users and contributors spanning those decades. You've helped Nmap blossom from a fairly simple port scanner to a full-featured network discovery application trusted by millions of users every day.So thanks for that.

I'm pleased to release Nmap's 25th anniversary edition, Version 7.93. Besides including the latest version of our Npcap Windows packet capturing software (see the related announcement at https://seclists.org/nmap-announce/2022/0), it includes many other updates that we've implemented over the last year. This release is focused on the fixes and stability improvements that will form the base for all the feature releases we have coming up. And those will culminate with Nmap 8.
You can find the full list of Nmap 7.93 improvements at https://nmap.org/changelog.
