Hi All, This is my status report *#1 of 13* I have mentioned the problems which I faced during my work and also their solutions as it might be helpful for others if they face the same. *Accomplishments*: 1. Compiled and Installed Nmap on Linux machine in all possible ways. *Problems faced*: Got this warning: “config.status: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting".Ignored it considering it as a warning but was unable to build Nmap /“make” in the next step. *Solution* : It required g++ installation 2. Installed Nmap on windows using Self installer, and compiled it from source code. * P**roblems faced:* While doing it through "Compilation from source code". I couldn't svn checkout from the given link. *Solution*: The reason being my McAfee Security Scan was blocking new incoming Internet connections. Later on permitted it as a trusted connection and it worked fine. 3. Learnt Lua to a good extent from http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/readme.html and started practicing it. 4. Started reading the Nmap reference guide as suggested by the mentor. *Priorities:* 1. Implement some improvements to dns-ip6-arpa.nse, as describe at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q2/45. 2. Also consider a move to "fire and forget" logic. 3. Fixing service detection so it can handle 0-byte captures without crashing. 4. Fixing a segmentation fault in Ncat when scanned with the SSL NSE scripts *Note* : I will be away for this coming week from May 25th and will be back on June 3rd morning. I will be submitting my status report #2 of 13 on June 5th . Discussed with Fyodor and took permission for the same. Cheers, Sriharsha _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
