This is part of Alexandru's Cloud GSoC project [1]. I wondered what everyone's thoughts were on sandboxing Nmap? I figure this has particular importance with respect to NSE and misbehaving scripts. A current evolving practice in distributed computing research is to setup virtual machines dynamically that can do work. My feeling is that we could setup something similar that launches VMs so Nmap can run with root access while not being able to compromise the host. I envision it using a distributed VM creator like Eucalyptus to accomplish this. [1] http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q2/350
This sounds good. I can test it once you have working model. Please contact me when needed. --- Henri Salo _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
