I can't wait to get started testing this. The code built cleanly but
I'm getting:
./nmap -O 192.168.0.1
OS scan requested but I cannot find nmap-os-db file. It should be
in /usr/local/share/nmap, ~/.nmap/ or .
QUITTING!
I've looked but I can't find the file either.
Since I'm sure the db file will be evolving rapidly and doing a new
release every time a few signatures are added will be tedious, perhaps
you can make the latest db available online somewhere for us to grab as
it gets updated.
