Hi All! This is the report for week 3. Achievements: * Wrote a patch so that Zenmap's MemoryError is caught and handled better. The user sees a message that informs him/her that there is insufficient memory. The scan is kept running, however, and the user is informed of the same. This is considered to be the best way to handle the MemoryError until a fix to the underlying problem is done. This patch is still waiting for comments. * Rewrote code in zenmap/zenmapCore/NmapParser.py to speed up opening of scans. Large scans open in seconds instead of hours now. (committed as revision 32983). A follow up patch increased the speed even further. (committed as revision 32984) * Updated the included libpcap to 1.5.3 (committed as revision 32966). Set some automatically generated libpcap files to be ignored by SVN (committed as revision 32967). * Discussed (on the dev list) as to how the --exclude-ports option must behave. Have come up with a working plan on how to implement it. * Fixed a bug in Zenmap that caused it to crash when clicking on certain hosts (committed as revision 32939) * Modified configure.ac so that the changes in configure script are not overwritten when anyone were to run autoconf (committed as revision 32965) Priorities: * Work on adding a --exclude-ports option to Nmap * Work on a file-based paging system for displaying output in Zenmap (to reduce its memory footprint) * Analyze how to combine parallel timed-out hops into one node in the topology view in Zenmap Cheers, Jay _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
