You know what ? I've never given another look at UMIT since I thought the
command-line interface was enough for me... but you just convince me
otherwise! I can't wait to try those nifty add-ons!
Cheers!

> Hi Folks!
>
> Google Summer of Code has always been a very important program for the
> Umit Project. Umit is a Nmap Frontend, created during the GSoC 2005
> and mentored by Insecure.org. GSoC 2006 was also a great year for
> Umit, as it got great improvements with the sponsoring of Google once
> again. But, this year, the Umit Project was stated as a Open Source
> Organization, and it turned from a student project, to a mentoring
> project, in which we were able to have 7 students working on related
> projects intendend to improve and integrate Umit.
>
> Briefly, that is the history of Umit, and as you can see, Google has
> been decisive in its future, because it was because of GSoC that it
> was created, and it was because of GSoC that it was improved, and it
> was because of GSoC that we could have some fantastic students working
> on related projects for it.
>
> Thanks Google, and Thank you guys from the Open Source Office at
> Google. You guys are really making the difference.
>
> Here are the students who sucessfully finished their projects, and
> what they did during this Google Summer of Code:
>
> - Frederico Silva Ribeiro (Independent Features): Frederico and
> Adriano worked on some improvements on Umit Core and GUI, fixed the
> bugs reported on Umit's bug tracker and added some cool features to
> Umit, like the Command Line Option Parser and the mailing system
> (Which had some help from Guilherme also). The results of this
> project, is now featuring the new Umit release (0.9.5-RC1).
>
> - Guilherme Henrique Polo Gonçalves (Network Inventory and Scan
> Scheduler): Network Inventory is a cool tool in which you're going to
> be able to keep track of your network through Umit. It basically keeps
> an inventory of the machines in your network, and warns you about
> changes on it over the time, and now you're going to be warned if a
> new and misterious port has been open in your main server. Also,
> Guilherme developed the Scan Scheduler, with which you're going to be
> able to schedule scans, and have the results delivered in your e-mail.
>
>
> - João Paulo de Souza Medeiros (Umit Mapper): In order to get more
> from you traceroute, you can go for the João's project: The Umit
> Maper. It takes your scan result, and creates a radial map with the
> found hosts and the routes that it passed through. You can change
> views, zoom in and out, and navigate through the hosts easily. This
> tool really helps you to figure out instantly the trace path from one
> host to another, and you won't need to keep reading lines in the
> console to figure that out.
>
>
> - Luís Antonio Bastião Silva (Umit Interface Editor): Since the first
> version, Umit had the hability of having it's interface customized by
> the user. Let's say that you have a very new version of Nmap which has
> some options not listed in your Umit. What should you do? It is
> simple: just go to umit's xml files, and add it there... and you're
> going to see the differente on next restart. But, that is not that
> simple for some users, and Luis has addressed this issue by providing
> the Umit Interface Editor, which allows users to easily edit the
> appearance of the Profile Editor and the Command Constructor Wizard
> with a GUI editor that he developed during his GSoC.
>
>
> - Maxim I. Gavrilov (NSE Facilitator): Max's proposal was to integrate
> NSE to Umit, allowing users to easily run NSE scripts through Umit.
> Also, it is part of his work to create a NSE editor, with highlight
> and other development facilities and provide a apt-get like tool for
> downloading NSE scripts from a repository, so users can play with all
> the sort of NSE scripts that we can provide. He had accomplished his
> task and is still working on it to get it even better for getting it
> into Umit.
>
>
> - Rodolfo da Silva Carvalho (Umit Web): Now Umit has a fully usable
> web interface, which were release as a beta this week. It has access
> control, and lets you scan your network safely when you're away of it
> without having to use VPNs or SSH into into it.
>
>
> Soon, we're going to integrate all those projects into Umit, so you
> guys can have fun with them.
