Ndiff is a tool to aid in the comparison of Nmap scans. It takes two
|
|
Nmap XML output files and prints the differences between them: hosts
|
|
coming up and down, ports becoming open or closed, etc.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Ndiff compares two scans at a time. The first scan is called the A
|
|
scan and the second scan is called the B scan.

Ndiff started as a project by Michael Pattrick during the 2008
|
|
Google Summer of Code. Michael designed the program and led the
|
|
discussion of its output formats. He wrote versions of the program
|
|
in Perl and C++, but the summer ended shortly after it was decided
|
|
to rewrite the program in Python for the sake of Windows (and Zenmap)
|
|
compatibility. This Python version was written by David Fifield.
