Penetration Testing: Re: new NMAP re-tool(ing)

[Pete Herzog <pete () isecom org>]

We will be updating the tool to ensure it works with NMAP and we will 
provide fresh dumps of the OPRP database for sure.  Tweaks for the tool 
to do more things may not happen because it would make more sense to 
write a new tool from scratch than to hijack an existing one with a PERL 
script-- also to make the tool faster.  NWRAP was just a clever hack to 
see the possibilities.
Enumeration tools are funny creatures as they need a strange mix of 
intuitive usability and comprehensible categorization for providing 
variations of 3 simple answers: open, closed, and filtered.  Use also 
dictates you include speed, throttling, quality checks, and a large 
assortment of protocol variations to make a knife that behaves like a 
scalpel, a broad sword, and both at the same time.  Enumeration tool 
writers like the NMAP hackers, scanrand, etc. have my deepest respect.
Sincerely,
-pete.
