Trying to remove loop of anonymous hops in zenmap Topology tab.. Need Help?

[drake01 <drakeoone () gmail com>]

Hi guys,

I am currently working on zenmap's issue :
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q1/82 (as suggested by Patrik)
To David,
David, I am trying to use the patch you submitted for this. I have this
issue:
1) First of all, we want to make any cycle of anonymous hops be converted
to single anonymous node, right? Like:

         / anon_1---anon_3 \
..-> ip_a                   ip_b -> ..  => .. -> ip_a -> anon_1 -> ip_b -> ..
         \ anon_2 ---anon_4/


I found it working for the case of 1-hop loop though.. Are you sure
its not working for single loop too..


2) I am kinda' unable to find definitions of attributes returned by a trace
in zenmap.. Since I am new to zenmap code, could you please point me to the
correct file...  I am not sure
what exactly hop["ttl"] contains... It should contain consecutive numbers
in increasing order, increased when any host is encountered during trace...
right?

3) I wish to apply for gsoc2012 and work for nmap this summer and
further... I would like to apply for the role of 1) Web scanning and
Discovery scanning specialist or 2)Zenmap Gui Developer in order of
priority..
Q1- Can I apply for both profiles and write a single proposal  or Would I
have to select 1 out of these two..
Q2- For Zenmap Gui, the soc page on nmap.org is clear.. For the web
scanning and Discovery scanning specialist, it would be great to write some
code for getting a feel of it.. I am familiar with nmap usage though.. Any
suggestions, starting points would be great..  I know C, C++, python..

Patrik,
Sorry for replying so late.. As you told, the server svn.insecure.org is no
longer in use..
You asked, could you provide us with information on what's still pointing
to this location so we can clean it up?
Ans- No pointer to it exists in nmap svn repository..Few pointers to this
server do exist in nmap-exp repository though.. I remember David's
directory in nmap-exp showed this "unable to connect to server" thing....
Few Other directories too had this issue.. Don't remember the exact names
and I am not sure if you really need them anyway ( I don't know, some of
the directories seem obsolete in nmap-exp). I would be happy to point
exactly, if you need.. :)
