Abhishek's Status Report - #5 of 17

[Abhishek Singh <abhishek.s14 () iiits in>]

Hello Folks !

This week I deviated a little from my objective which is to focus on NSE
related features as I got something cool and that is designing tcp fallback
for NMAP's parallel DNS library, while doing that I came across few bugs
and enhancements in our DNS library and very soon I will put PRs for them.
Last few days more or less I was scratching head and understanding flow of
nmap_dns and Nsock.

Accomplishments

~ Made final commit in bitcoin.lua to fix crash and Pong response for a
ping request.
~ Added documentation for feature script-timeout.
~ Made changes in the examples of nsock code which is having few small
errors with respect to new Nsock library.
~ Corrected parsing of resolv.conf in nmap_dns.
~ Enhanced efficiency of DNS resolution using Map as a data structure (
Still few problems exist with this implementation ).


Priorities

~ Completing provision for TCP fallback
~ More improvements in nmap_dns.cc
~ NSE related features ( script-timeout, better accountability of scripts,
alternate short syntax for script arguments)
~ Putting time limit on http-form-fuzzer


It would be great hearing from you people over any bug or if some feature
you want to see in NMAP.

Cheers,
Abhi
