Hi, I am planning to submit a proposal to SoC to combine nmap and guile I would extend scheme with functions for scanning a host. you would then call nmap maybe like nmap --script myscan.scm options hosts ports
Wow. As a Scheme-head myself (I'd like to see it taught to every first year Computer Science student) I think this would be pretty awesome. And guile is nice and easy to embed. I wonder if you'll encounter resistance among those unfamiliar with Scheme. In your proposal I'd document your proposed functions thoroughly and give them very descriptive names, and write a number of sample scripts for real kinds of scans. Also try and indent your code really well so that people aren't confused by the parentheses (everyone always complains about the damned parentheses!). - Dave _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev
