We are looking forward to your application.

The main way of communication for nmap developers is the nmap-dev  
mailing list. If you follow it closely, you won't miss anything.

Nmap is written in C/C++ so you should be quite comfortable with  
these. Lua skills are a plus. Also you should have, or get some  
experience in using the unix autotools. Another requirement is that  
you are able to write your code to run on both, windows and unix. On  
windows Nmap is built using Visual Studio (either express or  
professional). How much you should know in which area depends on what  
you would like to do for Nmap.

There are not many students who dare to propose their own ideas. So  
if you can devise a proposal and convince us that it is a good idea,  
it will definitely raise your chances of acceptance.

cheers,
Diman

P.S. the soc () insecure org mailing list is currently not in use; it is  
used for the communication between students and mentors during the  
SoC program.
