Possible Bug with HOSTS Column

["Naami, Tim" <TNaami () rhsnet org>]

To Whom It May Concern:



I am running Zenmap 5.51 on Windows XP SP3.



I don't know if this is a bug, user error, or a user error that causes a crash (that is still a bug).  I routinely need 
to generate a list of IP addresses for host names and vice versa.  For instance I might have a list of hosts with names 
like:

      HOST01

      HOST02

      ...

      HOST99



and need to get the IP addresses.  If I use the built-in Ping Scan, paste my host list in the Target dialog box, the 
results show up in Nmap Output but with extra data I don't need.  What I need is shown in the HOST column.  In other 
words I want the final listing to be something like:



      HOST01 (10.100.1.23)

      HOST02 (10.125.11.38)

      ...

      HOST99 (10.250.98.102)



This is EXACTLY what is displayed in the HOST column on the left side of the program.  If I try to highlight and copy 
that column it won't let me select it.  If I highlight one entry and then hold CTRL (or SHIFT) and click a second entry 
I get the following error:



[cid:image001.jpg@01CC673F.A3BC50D0]



I can copy the data out of the Nmap Output window and paste into Excel and manipulate it there to get what I need.  
This requires a couple sorts and find/replace steps to get what is already listed on the program.  (The other 
alternative is to save the scan and then copy the "SCAN SUMMARY" line at the top of the file.  This, though, has to be 
pasted into something like NotePad so the | can be removed.)



Most likely the crash is caused by my attempt to select multiple entries on the HOSTS list and this is not allowed.  
Still this should not crash the program as it does.  Possibly there should be a warning message stating selection of 
multiple items is not allowed instead of the crash.  Still another issue could be that I have something else going 
wrong that causes this issue.



Please let me know.  Feel free to contact me with any questions.
