Re: Looking for test data

Hi Luis,

Thanks for the reply. I have been in contact with a university in
relation to this, unfortunately I was advised that the campus network
is fairly flat in terms of how subnets are organised, and the vast
majority of hosts are clones - windows workstations with the same
couple of ports open. I'll probably be using it, but I'd imagine I'll
be chucking out alot of the data gathered. I was just hoping I'd be
able to catch something more interesting on here.

Thanks
Larry

Some universities have big networks and not many firewall restrictions.
There shouldn't be too difficult to go to some campus, get a network
cable plugged into your laptop (wireless nets are sometimes isolated so
it might not be the best option) and run an nmap scan against a /16
block of IPs.

Hi,

I am new to this list, and not really sure if this is the right place
to ask for the sort of info I'm looking for.

I am working on a project that uses nmap.
In short, I have an agent that periodically runs the scan, uses
Nmap::Parser in perl to parse, and then populates an OWL ontology with
the results.
The general idea is that there would be an agent running in each
subnet on a given network, or at least one either side of any given
firewall.
The OWL ontology is in a location that all agents can reach and can be
used to get an overall view of the network, and to track changes an
admin may be interested in.

Unfortunately, I am finding it difficult to find any significant
ammount of real world data so I can test what I have so far.
I dont have access to an interesting network to do this on, and I dont
want to annoy any network admins out there.
I am writing a script that will generate an nmap xml file that has
loads of subnets, hosts, services, etc... but I would prefer if I
could get something a bit more real.

Does anyone here know where I might get a handy lump of test data in
nmap xml format to run test agents on?

Thanks
Larry O'Neill
