Note: I sent the following e-mail on 16th April as well, but I guess it got lost somewhere during the Nmap-dev downtime. Hello, Usman Zaheer here from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan (3rd Year Undergraduate CS). I have been looking at the Ideas page for the past few days and think that I will be most interested in the Feature Creeper/ Bug Wrangler Position because this will give me a broad overview of how Nmap code works as a complete system. I have strong skills in C/C++ and Python. Currently I am learning Lua and hope to get it done soon :). I think I can pick up stuff quickly because I have approx. one year of Research Experience under my belt where I had a really steep learning curve but still it worked out fine. Regarding the "Exploring port scanning from within NSE" idea, what are some baseline features that we are going to write modules for? Any suggestions? Moreover, how do the developers test the code patches for Nmap (best practices?) because this is a bit different from typical software apps. Further, I guess other ideas like XML parser listed on the Ideas page also fall into the feature creeper role, right? Also, any further resource that someone may want to point me to? Thanks in advance :) Regards. _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
