I am also looking at how I store the data. As I mentioned before I have looked at the nmapsql, but the database design does not scale
well The database was intentionally kept small so that the portstat table alone can provide pretty much all the scanning results. But .. You're right .. It may not suit your purpose.
for my needs and if I am spreading the nmap processes out to multiple
hosts anyway, I don't want them writing directly to the DB. The hosts
will not have access to the core server, but the core server will have
access to the scanning hosts.
That's easily done, too. If you have a local nmap box in each location, they can have their local nmapsql instances which you can collect and consolidate into the central db. This would definitely save you the outrageous bandwidth required to complete the scan. You'll fire up a storm on each subnet, but not snowstorm the WAN links.
Also with the DB design, from the last time I looked at it, it did not allow for Version scanning and I plan on adding that is very soon. I am presently tweaking the nmap-service-probes for my needs and environment.
I'm assuming by "Version scanning" you're referring to the -A option in nmap 3.48. If so, nmapsql completely supports that. If nmap can find the version, nmapsql will log it. -- Hasnain --------------------------------------------------------------------- For help using this (nmap-dev) mailing list, send a blank email to nmap-dev-help () insecure org .
