Jacek's Status Report #9 of 13

[Jacek Wielemborek <d33tah () gmail com>]

Hello,

This is my report for week 9 of "Nsock-based port scanning"
Google Summer of Code project.

Accomplishments:

* Cleaned up and comitted some of my unpushed changes to various
branches of my SVN directory:

  -> Integrated the new plotting code to the script that generates daily
     regression testing reports,
  -> Added more ideas for use cases for the regression testing script,
  -> (more?)

* Analyzed and fixed a bug in the nmap-nsock-scan congestion control
timeouts related to not resetting the timeouts clock in retransmitted
probes,

* Fixed a bug in nmap-nsock-scan which resulted in Nmap always saying
that the scan took 0 seconds and began in 1970,

* Implemented basic --host-timeout support (not tested thoroughly yet),

* Added early --scan-delay support,

* Did another major refactoring of the code which got me closer to
removing nhss_map.

* Added a test for --scan-delay to the regression testing script,

* The regression testing script now sends e-mails on its own using
smtplib instead of relying on sendmail; this made it trivial to send the
e-mails to multiple recipients.

* Decided to put off further work on congestion control for now and
unified the code structure for this subsystem with Nmap's scan_engine.cc
so hopefully it will be easier to debug it in the future.

Priorities:

* Work on --min-rate and --max-rate,

* Maybe experiment with --proxies scanning?

* Keep working on regression testing software.

Yours,
Jacek Wielemborek
