Has anybody looked at a way to convert the XML output to SQL? I don't have a whole lot of experience with XML, but it'd definitely be a cool feature.Do you mean just separately 1) extracting the data from the XML and 2) storing it in a database?Separately or together doesn't really matter -- as long as it ends up in a database I'll be happy.Check out Metasploit's db functionality, such as db_nmap. It stores Nmap XML into a database (using ActiveRecord). Also, a Metasploit developer emailed me a couple of months ago in reference to using my Ruby Nmap::Parser in a project related to his work (not Metasploit) in which he wanted to scan and store in a sqlite3 database. It can be done just the same along with the Perl Nmap parsers I'm sure. Parsers for Nmap extract the data from the XML so he just has to put it in a db somehow, which shouldn't be too hard. Coming up with a decent schema is probably the worst of it all, depending on what all data you want to keep.Cool, sounds promising! I'm only just getting my feet wet with Ruby right now, but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!Cheers, Kris Katterjohn
I think Nmap itself should have feature to do is. Should we add it to TODO-list? --- Henri Salo _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
