RE: Nmap SoC Ideas?

["Dario Ciccarone (dciccaro)" <dciccaro () cisco com>]

+1. Combined w/ what Patrick pointed out about runaway NSE scripts. If you decided to scan the 10/8 network, and the 
scan is taking forever . . . Either break out tcpdump/ethereal, or stop the scan, add a bunch of "v" to the command 
line, start again.

Now, if during the scan, we could "on the fly" affect the execution . . . Adding a bit of debug, adding/removing a v, 
heck, maybe even enable/disable OS detection . . . That would be useful :)

Hm. Thinking of it, this all could be done w/ someone's else suggestion to make nmap a daemon, and then having a client 
side that could, by providing a scan #, not only see the current status, but dump the status to a file, modify scan 
options for a running scan, etc.

Thanks,
Dario
