NMAP running on Zenmap 7.93 NSOCK ERROR ssl_init_helper OpenSSL legacy provider failed to load

I installed the latest version of Zenmap 7.93 that calls Nmap on Windows 11. I also installed the latest version of OpenSSL 1.1.1.q. However, when I launch Zenmap and conducted an Intense Scan:

nmap -T4 -A -v 192.168.1.12

The following Message was displayed at the top of Zenmap:

Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-09-10 07:29 Eastern Daylight Time

NSOCK ERROR [0.4770s] ssl_init_helper(): OpenSSL legacy provider failed to load.

I searched Google for this error as well as this platform and could not find any solution to fix this error.

Solution

  • The solution now is to uninstall nmap version 7.93 and reinstall 7.92.
