Nmap on Amazon Kindle

[Vlatko Kosturjak <kost () linux hr>]

Hello!

Since Nmap was already ported to arm architecture including Android, this
port to Amazon Kindle was pretty straightforward. No source patches needed.
Thanks to various Kindle enthusiasts it is possible to get shell terminal 
directly on Kindle, so you can run nmap directly from Kindle (you can also
run it through ssh - of course!). I'm talking about Kindle 3.
Take a look at Amazon Liberation Project:
