Re: Port Scanner Reports

[Serg Belokamen <serg.belokamen () gmail com>]

Nmap is the solution.

Nmap can output veriety of formats from human readable to XML to 1337

So wrapping that in a script would be a trivial matter, you could even
do a discovery scan so to speak so you dont need to keep a massive IP
(to scan) database.
