Nmap Development: Re: where to start from

[Kantor Zsolt <kantorzsolt () yahoo com>]

I think that at first it would be a good idea to learn  socket programming (how to create a raw ICMP , data gram 
packets . . . ) because that's the key of nmap.
The tools can vary from simple to  complex .I prefer  gedit (a simple text editor,but with some enhancements for 
programming) when writing some  code,abd the terminal to execute  the  app.If  you  prefer IDE's  you can  use KDevelop 
for C/C++  (www.kdevelop.org) or Anjuta (www.anjuta.org) or Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) or gbuilder ,but I think it is 
outdated.I think that at the beginning you better write simple client/server programs to understand better the socket 
programming.Don't dive directly into nmap source. Good luck  ! ;-)
