--forwarded message-- From: "Nicholas de Jong" <nick () securify com> To: <nmap-hackers () insecure org> In-Reply-To: <118A44F05A15D4118AF20050DA4DA69A09232A@NYC-EXCH01> We have decided to embark on the mission of writing a distributed nmap engine with an internet-public user interface that includes a searchable database. We are writing the whole lot in PERL since, well that is what we are better at and we can write something that will run on *NIX and NT, kudos to Marc and eEye! Anyway, we were interested to hear from anyone that has started / attempted such a project. I recall that there was some discussion earlier this year on the matter. We are aware of the problem that scanning from different networks can yield different results however we are going to push ahead with it all anyway and see what happens. Hoping to have something kinda ready before Black Hat but I suspect we are going to get really busy with other stuff. :( Will keep you all informed as things develop... --end-- At the chaos computer club we started working on such a beast. distributed.net for nmap or slowfox was the name we called it. But then other things came more important so it is still on the "Projects to finsih someday" queue. The main problem we found was where to store the information gathered from 2^32 IPs? So we decided we need a distributed aproarch even on the server side. There was some code written in C by me but I don't find it at the Moment. doobee -- ... you die - game over http://rc23.cx/ http://drt.ailis.de/
