As long as it isn't going to disappear in a near future release then I'm happy. I can fully understand why it isn't changing or growing but that is a good thing for all the tools and one liners that rely on it. Robin On Mon, 7 Mar 2016 at 15:38 Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com> wrote:
Robin, It's not going anywhere, it's just not getting new features added. This is to ensure that all the old scripts and tools that import it will not break. Fixed, delimited formats like that just aren't naturally extensible. XML, on the other hand, is easy to add to and Nmap's format even supports versioning for times when we really break something (like the osclass/osmatch nesting change back in 6.00).

XML may be useful to feed into tools specifically developed for it but not for everything else.

It's stable and useful for some things, but it can't be extended to new features. One feature that is missing is MAC address output. If you need a machine-readable format that will always contain output from all of Nmap's features, use the XML output format [2]. The MAC address is output as the //host/address[@addrtype="mac"] element.

Is this a bug ? *Matteo De Rosa* ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Dott.
