Re: Nmap/Google SoC 2007 Ideas?

["Eddie Bell" <ejlbell () gmail com>]

I was mulling over an idea about a --interactive overhaul.

Perhaps something with a metasploit-esq interface (command line
editing/history/tab completion)  where the user can browse NSE
packages, view descriptions and set script arguments (optional and
mandatory). At the moment specifying NSE scripts and their arguments
on the command line is a little awkward.  A few other ideas for the
console include;

 * setting nmap options
 * NSE update from a central repository
 * XML log management (searching/consolidating etc..) maybe with a
custom query language?

It could even be plugin based.
