We will be updating the tool to ensure it works with NMAP and we will provide fresh dumps of the OPRP database for sure. Tweaks for the tool to do more things may not happen because it would make more sense to write a new tool from scratch than to hijack an existing one with a PERL script-- also to make the tool faster. NWRAP was just a clever hack to see the possibilities.
Enumeration tools are funny creatures as they need a strange mix of intuitive usability and comprehensible categorization for providing variations of 3 simple answers: open, closed, and filtered. Use also dictates you include speed, throttling, quality checks, and a large assortment of protocol variations to make a knife that behaves like a scalpel, a broad sword, and both at the same time. Enumeration tool writers like the NMAP hackers, scanrand, etc. have my deepest respect.

Very nice. Can we expect updates in the future? .......Version numbers by banner grabbing and such? Good stuff.

You will find it athttp://www.isecom.org/projects/toolsandtemplates.shtml.NWRAP uses the OPRP (Open Protocol Resource Projectdatabase athttp://www.isecom.info/cgi-local/protocoldb/browse.dsp)to enhance the port findings by listing all known protocols and services for those ports. It's especially handy for testing portsabove the 1024 range. Use it just as you would NMAP (must be installed andin your path). The OPRP dump which must accompany it should be includedin the same directory. NWRAP was written by Simon Biles. The OPRP is maintained by Dru Lavigne. Sincerely, -pete.
