To be more precise then my previous post (I hope I'm doing these reply's ok), Nagios is pretty much what I want to do if I had a few years :) But the admins here want something very simple and plain, not as 'grand' as Nagios. Umit is pretty much what they want though, except that they want it webbased (which I don't think Umit is). So yeah, my application does differ, but not that much :) Additional comments are still very welcome! Cheers, Dieter 2009/3/25 Dieter Van der Stock <dietervds () gmail com>
Thanks for the fast response Diman and Guilherme. Apparently Nagios and Umit already do pretty much what I wanted to do. Nagios being a lot more advanced, and Umit being where I wanted to be at the end of my thesis (at first glance). Somehow I missed those applications during my research.. I'm probably going to contact Umit about SoC after I've decently read up on them and their idea's, and I'm going to talk about them and Nagios to my collegues here. Thanks again for the feedback! With regards, Dieter 2009/3/25 Diman Todorov <diman.todorov () gmail com> how is that different from nagios[1]?diman [1] http://www.nagios.org/ On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 10:04 AM, Dieter Van der Stock <dietervds () gmail com> wrote:Hello everyone, my name is Dieter Van der Stock. I'm a college student studying forCivilEngineer - Computer Science in Belgium, and a beginning security enthousiast. I'm new to the dev-list and to security-tools developmentingeneral, so please forgive any technical shortcomings :) For my thesis I'm making a program based on nmap and ndiff, which Iwouldlike to share with the open-source world if you guys think it could beofuse. If the feedback is positive enough, I would like to suggest thefurtherdevelopment of it for the GSoc program during my summer holiday. The problem that my tool would try to adress is the following: thecompanythat asked me to make it do a lot of broadband research like performance testing, deployment and testing of new broadband applications and so on. Because of this research they often have to fiddle with the firewallswhich,as a result, often end up being misconfigured. The admin would like a simple interface where they can program portscansoftheir network, which then alerts them of any sudden changes every timethatthe scan is re-run by the tool. To make an already long story short: it would serve as a way of makingthecron-nmap-ndiff cycle transparant and automated to the admins. One canenterseveral assignments through a webinterface which can vary in duration, targets, interval, detail, etc, and he will only be bothered by theresultsof the diff if it's worth it. Obviously I describe it only briefly here, but I'm hoping that it canbecomea useful tool for other administrators out there to check for suddenchangesin their network. So I hereby ask for your feedback :) Any comments are welcome.
