Hi all, Accomplishments: *Looked in depth at bugs in 2 clang areas. - Nping has most of the clang bugs, working on classifying bugs and posting them to the dev-nmap list. - One area that needs work is loopret on a lot of places in a function, but it is never used after it is set. - This must be old code that can probably be removed. Will post more detailed results Thursday. - Nmap has one area that needs cleaned up, posted to the nmap-dev list. *Signed up on libpcap list to post libpcap bugs that clang found on that list. - libpcap dev list is very low volume, going to write a bug report on Thursday and post it to their list to get work started in that area. * Ran clang against NTP, have not sent this report to ntp-dev list yet. (Worked on this because I felt guilty that I turned down their project .) Priorities: * spurious port closing bug - read rfc 793 and any others that deal with tcp transmission. - read tcp illustrated vol 1 and 2. - figure out how to set sequence numbers and change flags in nmap for packets. * clang bug report, organize and post proposed changes for each problem I find. - clang found 137 bugs, but not all of them are bugs, most of them are serious - I have to go through and fix them by project. - Nmap proper only has a couple of issues, I posted an email to nmap-dev last week and got no feedback. - Will bump for feedback. - Nping has a whole set of issues, so over the next few weeks I will be identifying, classifying and posting proposed fixes to the list. - We use many libraries, so to fix clang bugs I found in these lower level lists I will have to work with those teams. I have 4 finals in the next 2 days, studied a lot over the weekend. Almost done moving to a new place. My annual get together at Origins Gaming Convention was last weekend. _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
