5) In your mail you talked about performing service detection through a chain of proxys. This would be extemely cool! Do you think it would be possible to add the proxying functionality as some sort of addition to nsock? This would be a very useful addition to nsock and could potentially mean that a huge amount of (present and future) Nmap functionality could be proxied. Specifically, I'm thinking about some extra argument to nsock_connect_tcp() Call it, perhaps, struct nmap_chain. Ideally nsock_connect_udp() and nsock_connect_ssl() could accept chains as well. To me it makes sense to put this type of functionality into nsock as a method of abstraction. I might also like to use this type of proxy connection in my own separate programs.
Hi, I find all ideas quite compelling and only want to drop my 2 cents on Nsock. I would be quite happy if Nsock isn't changed much until it's a bit more stable. While Nsock provides a very handy API, Nmap is using just a part of it. After I wrote my Nsock wrapper for Nmap-LUA I started stumbling on bugs and inconsistencies with the 'documentation' in Nsock.h. While I think proxy scan is a great thing to add to Nsock I would say what Nsock needs some code stabilization more than new features ;) A bit of real Nsock documentation a la version detection/ossscan wouldn't hurt either... cheers Diman _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev
