Nmap Development: RE: nmap XMLing

[Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org>]

I'm redirecting this XML output suggestion from nmap-hackers to nmap-dev:

I have just been parsing the output file (-m) into BASIC xml structure with
perl module (my hack) for my needs.  Output like this:

- <nmap>
- <scan>
- <name>
  <ip_address>172.16.1.1</ip_address>
  <dns_name>blah.braindead.com</dns_name>
  </name>
- <port>
  <service_name>http</service_name>
  <portno>80</portno>
  <state>open</state>
  <proto>tcp</proto>
  <owner>root</owner>
  </port>
- <port>
  <service_name>ssh</service_name>
  <portno>22</portno>
  <state>open</state>
  <proto>tcp</proto>
  <owner>root</owner>
  </port>
- </scan>
- <scan>
- <name>
  <ip_address>172.16.1.2</ip_address>
  <dns_name>einstien.braindead.com</dns_name>
  </name>
- <port>
  <service_name>http</service_name>
  <portno>80</portno>
  <state>open</state>
  <proto>tcp</proto>
  <owner></owner>
  </port>
- <port>
  <service_name>ssh</service_name>
  <portno>22</portno>
  <state>open</state>
  <proto>tcp</proto>
  <owner></owner>
  </port>
- </scan>
- </nmap>

I would definitely be interested in assisting so to remove that file parse.

Hi, has anyone made any attempts to or is planing to add XML output to nmap?
I remember a while back fyodor added a feature to it that would make that
easier? (remember skript kiddie output?)  If nmap had xml output it would
make it very nice for web-based front ends and communication with other
tools... I would seriously attempt to add xml output to it, but I am afraid
I've been stuck in java-land for quite some time, and so I doubt I can do
it( in a timely fashion). However if someone is planning to add xml output I
would be down to write some nifty javatized front ends with graphical trees
and such...

thoughts?
