Hi!

First of all I'd like to say thanks to those of you that downloaded
Nping and tested it, your comments were very useful. Now, here are some
of the accomplishments of last week and priorities for this week:


Accomplishments:


* Finished IPv6 support for TCP-Connect and UDP unprivileged modes.
* Added support for IPv6 packet transmission at raw TCP/UDP level
  (currently experimental)
* Discussion on the list about the first Nping beta release.
* Added section to the man page that explains how Nping iterates over
  targets, ports, etc.
* Added support for options --hide-sent and --no-capture.
* Added support for options --traffic-class and --flow (for IPv6 in raw
  Ethernet mode ).
* Fixed segfault produced when pcap returns a packet that was
  not sent by any of our target. The bug was reported by Jack Grahl, who
also
  provided the appropriate patch.
* Fixed a bug in --IPv6 option parsing, reported by Jason R. DePriest
* Fixed open_pcap_live() related bug that produced crash on Windows.
* Fixed bug produced when printing target info but no spoof IP was being
used
* Changed code that parses TCP flag specification to make it more flexible.
  Now flags may be specified using an hex number, a list of flags in format
  'syn,ack,psh...' or using flag initials like in 'sa'
* Added file to generate doxygen source code documentation.
* Added html version of man page.
* Changed default behaviour, now nping does 5 rounds not 10 (iterates over
  target hosts and target ports 5 times)
* Fixed a bug in -d option parsing, reported by Ben Rosenberg and solved
  by Ithilgore.
* A few other minor bugfixes.
* Some code reorganization and cleanup.
* Had a meeting with Fyodor
* Scheduled next meeting.

Priorities:

* Finish IPv6 support.
* Finish support for ICMP netmask messages.
* Fix some bugs listed in TO-DO document.
* Try to implement some features suggested by nmap-dev guys.

Regards,


Luis.
