Ok, this is how I would do it
use a batch file to nmap the machines
goto excel, goto the data menu, import external data from ascii file, chose
dilimited and specify the characters you want to use to separate fields.

If your doing it all on a winnt\2k\xp box, use either nmapWIN(idiot proof)
or NmapNT(command line just like *nix nmap, but a bitch to install right cuz
of winPcap) once you create the file, use excels data import feature, make
it nice and neat, or you could use the linux alternative for gnome, I forget
the name as I've been using Doze boxes again too long ;).  and save that one
to be compatable with excel 95\97 or 2000 file format.

Gotta run, best of luck, feel free to email me with any questions @
frank () franktrezza com or AIM unofranksino, MSN.  Also, there is a nice
little port scanner called YAPS (there are 2 of them, you want the one that
uses the HTML output feature). It takes longer to scan then nmap, but works
almost as well, that would create a much more nicely dilimited file for
excel.
http://www.tni.net/~ted/Yaps/Yaps.html is the last link I have for it, but
don't have the time to check it now...

have a good one

Hello all,

I was just recently handed a project of having to document all of the
open ports on an internal network of servers and provide a definition
and justification for all of the open ports. My first thought was to
use nmap to scan all of the machines and then simply go through and
write a short justification for each open port.

Unfortunately the management types want this done in a nice pretty
(useless) spreadsheet for each machine. Since the output of nmap
only lists the number, status, name and owner of the open ports
it finds, I have go through each report individually to add the
definition and justification.

What I would like to have (and it may be available and I'm just missing
it) is a way to get the output to list all of the information found
in the nmap-services line plus the status of the port.

For example, currently nmap returns the following line when finding
port 22 open:

22/tcp     open        ssh

However, this is what is in the distributed nmap-services file for
that port:

ssh               22/tcp     # Secure Shell Login
ssh               22/udp     # Secure Shell Login

I'd like to see all of the fields in the nmap-services file be present
in the output (even if only as an option, perhaps as part of the -v?).
Then the output would be similar to the following:

open     ssh      22/tcp     # Secure Shell Login
open     ssh      22/udp     # Secure Shell Login

This way sites could customize the last field in the nmap-services
file to provide things like definitions/descriptions/justifications
for the ports that are open.

FWIW, I'm using the nmap V. 2.54BETA28 package from www.sunfreeware.com.
