Hi Anthony, hi others,
how about modifying the nmap-xml output so that it can create idmef
(intrusion detection message exchange format) xml format?
We (Sandro Poppi and I) are trying to develop a correlation framework
for snort, nmap, nessus and other ids/firewall/security scanner/audit -
devices:
www.sourceforge.net/projects/threatman
If nmap had an output module that provides idmef-compliant output, this
would be a great thing, because it would spare us the need to write an
input plugin for nmap ourselves.
;)

This would further enable us to have a first proof-of-concept
application for Threatman, i.e. correlating snort-output with
nmap-output,  as soon as the core framework is working. Since now,
Sandro has already managed to implement the so called "device-proxy"
that allows us to send back and forth idmef-messages.
Sandro has further taken over maintenance of the snort-idmef plugin.

BTW: New members will always be warmly welcomed in the team.
:)

I wish you all a happy new year.

Cheers,
--Detmar
