Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! I've implemented Patrick and Vasiliy's suggestions in the latest revision, as well as fixing a couple things related to --spoof-mac and script categories. One thing I found was that the Nmap man page is missing the "broadcast" category in its list of defined categories. I appreciate any feedback anyone has on this script!

Bash-completion is programmable tab-completion for Bash 3.0 and newer.Thisis my implementation of a completion script for Nmap. Some highlights: - tab-complete options with both short and long versions - tab-complete time options with h, m, s, ms - tab-complete script names and categories (requires perl) - tab-complete interface names for -e - tab-complete timing options with names: "paranoid," "insane," etc. https://github.com/bonsaiviking/nmap-completionCool! I think by default the script should accept a pre-defined NMAPDIR. I decided to install this completion script locally by patching it to use NMAPDIR if already set and adding to my .bashrc file: # enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable # this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile # sources /etc/bash.bashrc). if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then . /etc/bash_completion fi . "$HOME/.bash_completion.nmap" ^ The last line is the addition. I also pasted the Ubuntu bash completion stuff to point out you have to load the custom nmap completion script last (so it replaces any default nmap completion script that comes with the system). I think there is a syntax bug: batrick@neverwinter:~/bonsaiviking-nmap-completion-6d487b5$ bash ./nmap ./nmap: line 30: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./nmap: line 30: ` +($any_file_opts))' I fixed it by surrounding +($any_file_opts) in quotes. Patch attached. -- - Patrick Donnelly
