Re: Google SoC ideas

(sorry Adrian for accidentally sending just to you)

Hi,
Another of my ideas is to incorporate a "traceroute" function to Nmap, so a user will have the option of displaying the 
route taken before scanning a host/hosts. To get through most firewalls, something like "tcptraceroute" could be used, 
since some hosts block ICMP echo requests or UDP, which is used by normal traceroute. Tcptraceroute (and normal 
traceroute) is invaluable in my network troubleshooting toolkit, since I can traceroute to any tcp port. Would adding 
this to Nmap be feature bloat? Nessus already has the traceroute feature(not sure if regular or tcp-traceroute) but I 
like to use Nmap more;)  Should these features be in another tool altogether? Any thoughts on this would be welcome.

regards,
Arthur

I have one idea... A web interface for  Umit. As umit was developed
with distinct layers, anyone is able to easily create another
interface for it. And it would be very useful, as a sysadmin would
scan his network remotely with the umit interface facility. What are
your thought about this?


Cheeeeeeers!

PS: Did you see the last umit version (released on 04/17/2006)?
