Hi list, Early last week, I and the two Summer of Code students working on Zenmap, Jurand Nogiec and Vladimir Mitrovic, developed a vision of what we want Zenmap to look like at the end of the summer. I'm sending along to all of you so you see what we have planned. David Fifield At the end of the Summer of Code 2008, we see Zenmap as an application that network newbies and network professionals love to use. We see a tool that is reliable and trusted, as trusted as Nmap. The application has had the most important parts of its code documented and reviewed. Its most-used features have been brainstormed, prototyped, and discussed. It is user-friendly so you can learn but if you're an expert it won't slow you down. If you know the command you want to use you can just type it in and go. We see a command constructor with context-sensitive help on each of the options, to turn newbies into experts. Our Zenmap saves your scans automatically if you wish, right in the filesystem, and it has a search feature that lets you find what you're looking for fast. Zenmap can combine the results of several scans and show them all at once, and can show how the results of a scan have changed over time. We see interactive network topology visualization that offers a compelling advantage over the command line. We see being able to pick a host out of the output and scan it individually when you want more detail. We see a web review that remarks at how much better Zenmap has gotten as as a result of hard work by the students in the 2008 Summer of Code. _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
