Description Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-18 03:03:38 UTC
It would prove usefull to have an ebuild for rnmap. I wouldn't mind making
myself this ebuild, but I'd like to know wether another person is already under
this.

Bellow goes a nice e-mail I received shortly:

Hi,

I've released a new version of remote nmap (0.10).

Remote Nmap (Rnmap) is a pair of client and server programs
which allow for various authorized clients to run their port scans
from a centralized server.

Some changes/fixes/features I made:

 - Some changes for protocol:
   Server send nmap's result as multiple blocks instead of sending 
   one large message (much nicer output for users).
 - Bugfixes and overall improvements.
 - SSL support (with pyOpenSSL).

If you want more details take a look at change log:
http://rnmap.sourceforge.net/CHANGES

New version of remote nmap is available to download at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rnmap/rnmap_0.10.tar.gz

Nessus is "slightly" bigger, but does the same job + quite a lot more. Where are the advantages of this program?
Comment 2 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-18 07:02:38 UTC
The main advantage of this program is that it brings all nmap versatility. If you never tried nmap, better do it... Nessus doesn't allow custom TCP flag combination, nor has the many options of nmap.

And as a remark, let me say that this is an ebuild request, not a comparisson with other programs.
Comment 3 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-18 07:19:46 UTC
Nessus can use nmap for port scanning, btw - I didn't want to say rnmap is a bad program, it's just that if it only provides a subset of nessus functionality it is less likely to find someone who writes an ebuild and maintains it.

If you want to contribute one, feel free to do so :-)
Comment 4 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-02 12:38:56 UTC
Perhaps we make an ebuild... another day.
