What a perfect question, as it allows me to introduce the new "Nmap
Porjects" section of the nmap web site which I added last week.  I now
have links to Izar's vnmap (the tcl/tk gui), HD Moore's nlog,
rain.forest.puppy's 'nmap stubs', James W. Abendschan's fingerprint
submission CGI (already incorporated into nmap), and Ajax'
vulnerability checking patches.

The web page is (like usual) at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/

Everyone is encouraged to try out these programs/patches/systems and
send comments to the authors.  In particular, I am very interested in
including a GUI with the nmap distribution (as an OPTION -- don't
worry I'll never kill the command line version).  So if you see any
problems with vnmap or have any ideas, be sure and bounce them off
Izar.  And if you think a better GUI can be written with GTK, Motif,
TCL/TK, or whatever, feel free to give it a try and send the results
to myself and the list.

Someday I'd like the Nmap projects section to be as large as the AOL
response section of the web page :).

I should also mention that I am considering adding RPC functionality
(thanks to someone offering to write large portions of it).  What
would be very useful would be a master /etc/rpc file created by
merging /etc/rpc from many different systems, perhaps along with data
from outside sources (RFC's etc).  I am already working on doing this
for /etc/services.  Is anyone up to volunteering for the /etc/rpc
challenge?

Cheers,
Fyodor
