Hi, I wrote some ideas for Umit few weeks ago [0]. I think that some of then can be used for Zemap too. Soon, I'll place some Nmap ideias on this page too. Att, João Medeiros.

Hi All. I'm happy to report that SoC time is coming up again, and now is the time to determine what projects to sponsor! You may recall that we have had great results from the Google Summer of Code program in the past three years: 2005 successes: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=183143&cid=15133184 2006 successes: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q1/0235.html 2007 successes: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0024.html And I'm hoping 2008 will be even better! But for students to achieve great results, we need to give them great things to do. If there is anything you have particularly wanted in Nmap or related tools, now is your chance to speak up and potentially get it sponsored. Here are some ideas I've had: o Zenmap developer to continue to improve and extend Nmap's new cross-platform GUI o Anyone here have ideas for what you'd most like to see in Zenmap? o Nmap Scripting Engine infrastructure architect to improve the NSE platform o Nmap Scripting Engine script developer to write a bunch more scripts for us. o Anyone have ideas of scripts you'd love to see? o Collect top ports data so that we can say things like "scan just the 100 most common TCP ports". The feature already exists, we just need the data. o Add a fixed-rate packet sending mode to ultra_scan() (like what UnicornScan and ScanRand offer). And of course I always look for "feature creepers" who fix bugs and make a bunch of smaller improvements. In fact some of the tasks above would qualify. I've made a draft "ideas page" here: http://nmap.org/GoogleGrants.html And here are some other ideas that may be worth adding: o A testing framework that could be run (particularly before new releases) to insure that things are working properly. Maybe it could even go so far as scan machines such as scanme.nmap.org to make sure OS detection works correctly, etc. o Performance engineer. I kinda want to do this myself, but I can't devote a whole summer to it, so maybe we could put it up as a task in case we find someone great. o Hosted Nmap -- an open source CGI system for running Nmap scans against your network. o Raw-packet IPv6 support so you could do SYN scan, etc. Does anyone here use IPv6. o Windows IPv6 support. Again, does anyone want this? o Embedded Nmap work--Nmap on the OLPC, Nokia Internet Tablets, and similar devices. So those are the ideas which come to mind. Anyone have other ideas, or comments/expansions/details on these ones?
