But I am a newbie to the nmap, so I want to chose this project because I can go through the code of nmap. So would you guys tell me where should I begin if I wanna choose this project as my GSoC Application?
Hello, thanks for your interest. The question "where should I begin in the Nmap source code" is becoming a FAQ. Henri Salo posted some good mailing list links a few months ago at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q3/977. They are: "Design of Nmap" http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q2/173 "how to start reading the nmap source code ?" http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q1/42 "getting strated with nmap development" http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q1/566 My advice is to start with the function nmap_main in nmap.cc, and trace the execution until you find something you want to learn more about. Then when you have specific questions you can ask this list.
