Whether Lua is good for this I don't know, since it would likely depend on how the rc should be set up. So more to the point: was there ever more discussion on nmaprc the last couple of years?
It is still listed in TODO, but it isn't fully defined. So if someone really wants a .nmaprc, they are welcome and encouraged to write up a proposal for it. That could include things like: the features it would contain (e.g. what variables you could set), the syntax, how it would interact with command-line arguments, etc. That could start brainstorm/discussion and we could see what users/developers think. Here is what we have written about the idea so far in TODO: o Nmaprc-related - Create a system to store Nmap defaults/preferences in an nmaprc file. o nmaprc should be in ~/.nmap on UNIX o On Windows, we may need a registry key to find the .nmaprc o Obtain Nmap data directory information from nmaprc at runtime rather than compiled in -- among other advantages this is needed to make relocateable rpm. o Make RPM relocatable (requires somehow avoiding storing paths in the binary) o Perhaps Lua could be used as the format? o .nmaprc for keeping defaults, etc. o Nmaprc infrastructure, hook to new timing variables o Nmaprc man page o Default timing mode o Default NSE arguments, such as user agent o Maybe Default source IP (-S) argument o should be a way to specify your own .nmaprc o Maybe lets you add a directory and template for saving all scans.
