nmap version difference

[FireAxe]

I m using BT5r2 and metaspoit v.4.3.0

While using nmap from msfconsole its version is 5.51SVN
but when i check outside msfconsole its version is 5.61TEST4

What is the reason for this difference? How can i use 5.61 version in msfconsole?

thanx

Metasploit has its own version of nmap stored in /opt/metasploit/common/bin. If you want to call your the non-metasploit version of nmap, you can just call it directly using /usr/local/bin/nmap from within metasploit:

msf > /usr/local/bin/nmap -sS -T4 -O -A scanme.nmap.org[*] exec: /usr/local/bin/nmap -sS -T4 -O -A scanme.nmap.org

Alternatively, you can scan from outside of Metasploit and import the XML logs into Metasploit using db_import.
