Thank you Walt, for giving more insight about Apple. I also really doubt if Apple would let Nmap to run on iPhone at first place. As already Maemo supports Nmap pretty well, I think Zenmap could be possible using QT/GTK. Still if some Nmap developer feels that porting Nmap to iPhone is a possibility, please help in someway. Maybe Android is much open platform for Nmap? Shubhendra On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 5:49 AM, Walt Scrivens <walts () gate net> wrote:
Shubhendra, Just based on observations of Apple's behavior, I would have to say that they would never approve nmap for the iPhone. I hope I'm wrong, but they seem to avoid anything that might disclose any network information. Some time ago, I was helping Pavel Ahafonau (http://www.paully.com) to debug his network utilities which Apple has allowed, but they are very limited in their capability compared to nmap. That leaves only jailbreak as your option. I also use nmap 5.00 on maemo (N800, OS 2008) but zenmap doesn't work. For my network security work, I prefer the command-line interface anyway, so it's no loss for me. I'm 'way out of my league as far as nmap programming goes, but I'm pretty good at testing and reporting bugs, so I'd like to help you if you decide to proceed with your plans.
