Hi, I am Gorjan Petrovski, a Computer Systems Engineering student with a keen interest of networks. Last year I participated in GSoC as a network discovery and protocols scripting specialist for Nmap and I'm hoping that this year I'll be a part of your project. I'm really interested in working on the Umit Network Scanner Project since it's right down my area of expertise.
I have good understanding of the inner workings of Nmap and thanks to last year's GSoC experience I'm quite familiar with network discovery, port scanning techniques, packet crafting and sniffing methods. I'm also acquainted with some web programming in Java and I've got Android experience from a faculty project (contacts app) that I'm working on which will probably be my graduation thesis. I'm sorry for writing this late, but I think I'll be able to get familiar with the codebase in time. I've already cloned the project into my github and successfully built it. This is my github fork, though I haven't made any changes yet: https://github.com/mogi57/ns-mobile >From the mails on this mailing list I've gathered that the most important work would be on improving the host discovery and port scanning techniques. The OS and service fingerprinting system in Nmap has quite an advanced and complicated logic, so porting that would be very useful instead of trying to make our own. In fact we should probably refresh our service fingerprinting automatically with theirs and that way we'd get new service definitions from a very vibrant community which rarely misses new fingerprints. What do you think about that? As for the traceroute functionality, I'm curious whether the author of the idea meant to port the linux traceroute tool or the nmap builtin traceroute. I'm guessing that we'd need the linux traceroute tool because it has much more options than the nmap one. It would be really cool to work on porting a webserver but I don't really understand where in the scope of this organization and this project it would fit. I think it could have a use of publishing the results of the scan on the web so we would have easy access but I'm not really clear on that. So it would be really helpful if anyone could explain the context and the use of a webserver for this project? If I get any good ideas about the UI design I'll be sure to include them in the proposal.
