Thanks to both of you. I'm starting to write the application now. By the way, I noticed a contradiction in the two pages mentioning this project:From the main idea list page: "The Nmap project will pay for virtualmachine hosting (probably a Linode instance) for the project duration."From the requirements document: "You must have root access to a UNIXmachine connected to the Internet that you can set this up on." Will the Nmap project give me a server to develop on or will I have to find my own? I *should* be able to find one, but if not I'd have to resort to developing on my laptop, which isn't a problem except that outsiders won't be able to test except when I'm awake (I don't leave my computers on overnight).
Hi Mike. Good question. The /soc/ page is correct--if a SoC developer needs a virtual machine (such as linode.com) to develop on, the Nmap project will pay for it. For example a Linode 360 instance is only $20/month, so it would be just $60 or so for the SoC period. I've updated the HostedScan document to remove the conflict and made some other small updates as well.
