The latest version of wap-nmap has been released... you can grab your
copies from http://www.hackinthebox.org/article.php?sid=1200
I've been doing some thinking about how much further I'd be
able to take wap-nmap... and I have to say that I think this will be the
last release. The reason being, that although nmap in itself, has a lot of
features that wap-nmap does not make use of, I can't safely implement it,
for the main reason that it would require root privileges. All the same
though, I believe that wap-nmap has met requirements and it works well. It
does what I set out to achieve, and I'm pretty happy with that. Of
course, any of you out there are free to take the code and continue
developing it - that's what open source is all about isn't it?
I'm also thinking of starting web-nmap - a web based nmap tool to port
scan a users own machine - I think this has been done already, but what
the heck, I might just go ahead and implement it anyway! I'm also looking
into other security tools and looking to see whether I could create a
wireless version or a web based one at that... If anyone has any
suggestions, do drop me a line.
Take care, and thanks to everyone who has helped with wap-nmap over the
months - it's been fun.
Warmest regards,
