Hi!

It looks like the Nmap/Nping code de-duplication phase is almost over
so hopefully I'll soon merge the branch and start working on the new
Nping Echo Mode. Here are the accomplishments of the week, and
the priorities for next week:


Accomplishments:


* Created a new lib, libnetutil, so Nmap and Nping can share some
  networking related code. This new lib is written in C++ and now
  contains most of the code that was placed in Nbase during the
  de-duplication phase.
* Moved a few remaining functions in Nping's common.cc and
  common_modified.cc to netutil, and cleaned up a bit.
* Updated Nmap's Visual Studio solution and managed to compile the
  dedup branch on Windows.
* Corrected a few Nping test descriptions and test specs.
* Fixed a few bugs in the BPF filter creation. Now, Nping makes
  sure it doesn't capture any of the packets it sends or packets
  that are not destined to it.
* Fixed a bug that caused ARP replies not to be displayed.
* Fixed a bug that caused ICMP Router Advertisment entries to be set
  in host byte order.
* Fixed a few format specifier errors in Nping and netutil.
* Fixed a division-by-zero bug caused by bogus --rate input.
* Fixed failed assertion when user supplied '--mtu 0'.
* Improved error detection in the --flags parser.
* Updated Nping's man page with misc information.


Priorities:

* Merge from nmap-dedup branch to trunk.
* Schedule a meeting with Fyodor.
* Start working on the new Nping Echo Mode.

Regards,

Luis MartinGarcia.
