Re: Perl module wrappers for nmap

["James D. Levine" <levine () vinecorp com>]

There's also the perl libraries from my NDiff.  I'm not sure
what your intended use is but it's probably worth a look.

http://www.vinecorp.com/ndiff

These have been around as part of NDiff for something like
a year and a half, and are probably the most mature of existing
perl interfaces to nmap.

As far as I know, they are only being used as part of NDiff.  I
haven't put much effort into formalizing the interfaces for
public use, but if there's interest that can change.

Regards,
James

Here's the overview of the perl modules-


PortScan::PortSpec     a discovered port, its properties
PortScan::ScannedHost  a discovered host, properties, known ports
PortScan::ScanSet      set of discovered hosts, ports scanned across it

PortScan::DataStore    base class abstraction of some nmap data store
PortScan::NmapFile     a DataStore subclass which reads/writes nmap files

PortScan::IPAddress.pm  static utility methods for manipulating addresses
PortScan::ScanComparison  comparison of two scans of the same host

PortScan::ScanContext   generic mapping facility for user settings
PortScan::SetOps        static set operations used by ndiff
