New features in Nmap 7.31 include Npcap 0.10r9, which has been upgraded from version 0.10r2 bundled in Nmap 7.30 to add raw 802.11 Wi-Fi capture support, updated Zenmap graphical interface to indicate better that display of hostname is attached to Topology page’s address, and IPv6 fingerprint submission improvements. Among other noteworthy improvements implemented in the Nmap 7.31 maintenance update, we can mention better handling of scanning names that resolve to the same IP address, which means that the IP is now scanned more than once to no longer display bogus results for the other names by using the previous method.
