I would like to see an integrated tool that performs network stress testing such as SYN/UDP Floods. It would make Nmap the ULTIMATE network tool in my opinion. On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 6:45 AM, Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org> wrote:
Hi all. Google just began taking applications for organizations to participate in the 2009 Summer of Code! As you probably all know, the Nmap Project has benefited greatly from participating in that program for the past four years. I even wrote a blog entry for them about it: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/11/nmaps-fourth-gsoc-success-stories-and.html One of the most important requirements of a successful SoC is coming up with a great "ideas page" which lists summer projects that students can apply for. They can always come up with their own completely new ideas (and we encourage that sort of creativity), but most choose ideas from our list or at least start with one for inspiration. You can see our 2008 ideas page here: http://nmap.org/GoogleGrants.html So if anyone has an idea for Nmap (including Ndiff, Ncat, or Zenmap), please speak up! It does not have to be such a big project that it would take all summer--we usually sponsor several folks who focus on many smaller tasks instead. I'd love to hear about any NSE scripts you'd find useful, Nmap enhancements which would make your job easier, etc. This is your chance to dream up whatever would make Nmap better for you, and there is a chance we can get Google to pay for someone to actually implement it in code! You can also look at the Nmap TODO (nmap/docs/TODO in svn) for many ideas under consideration. If you find something there you really like, let us know on the nmap-dev list and we'll be more likely to list it on the ideas page. I plan to write the new ideas page in the next few days because applications are due to Google on Friday.
