GSoC idea

[kirubakaran S <kirubakaran1989 () gmail com>]

Hi dev,
  This is for Gsoc. I have an idea of developing a feature for nmap.But I
have only
rough idea about its implementation.Normally scripts are executed only
as command line commands with arguments supplied corresponding to the
script run. As the number of scripts are increasing due to large user
community
it is very hard to remember all the scripts and its arguments for a naive
user or
else he/she has to refer NSEdoc for its arguments. I suggest adding
a feature to zenmap that provides neat interface for selecting a script and
providing
arguments , with default arguments are already filled up in boxes in
interface.
In addition we can add several functionality like showing alert message when
the
user runs intrusive,not safe category etc.. scripts. if possible the script
results can
also be aggregated in to Zenmap topology and hosts viewer. We can also add a
search
feature in Zenmap that searches the script based on the keywords provided by
user and
description in each script.

And this is only a rough set of ideas i had in mind after using nmap
as a user and developer for the past six months.There is still lot more
space
to improve on this area.

Any suggestions?? Is it possible to implement this? correct me if I m wrong

cheers,
Kirubakaran.S
