But here are some ideas of contributions that might be particularly useful: -Table Rendering Code -- The system nmap uses for outputing the port -status table is not very extensible. For example, witness the chaos -in Nmap.c required to support adding an Ident column to the table when --I is specified. A simple table rendering library would be userul. -Presumably it would take some sort of specification giving the number -of columns & justification and an array of rows. Then it would decide -the appropriate column widths and print out the nicely formatted table. - -NmapFE improvements -- I am currently maintaining NmapFE (also known -as xnmap) -- the GTK GUI front end to Nmap. I am very open to changes -and improvements in that program. If you have enhancement ideas, give -it a shot! - -Debian/SPARC binaries -- I would like to offer Debian and SPARC native -binary packages via the web site. Right now the nmap 'distro' rule -creates the .tgz and *.rpm versions. If anyone wants to enhance that -to spit out debian packages as well, that would be great! A -'sunpackage' rule that I could run on a sparc would also be useful. -Debian & Solaris packages are already available at debian.org and -sunfreeware.com, but they are not always up-to-date. - -XML Output -- We have pretty much decided on a format ( see -http://lists.insecure.org/nmap-dev/2000/Jul-Sep/0038.html ) , but the -code hasn't been written yet. An XSchema or DTD for the format would -also be useful. +o Nmap GUI improvements -- I am currently maintaining NmapFE (also known + as xnmap) -- the GTK GUI front end to Nmap.
