Okay, we should get started on our first project.
I'm not sure if it is my job to choose, but I propose we write a security scanner, in C. If anybody has any objections to this, or has a better idea, the project shall commence. If it is indeed not my job to choose, GSecur, ComSec, I'm all ears :).
I want to hear what you all think of this, followed by your experience and skills. Mine are:
- C
- C++
- Perl
- BASH script
- DOS Batch
- HTML
- Tidbits of PHP
- Linux
- UNIX
- File I/O
- Internet Sockets
- Raw sockets
- Linux libs (the linux programming libraries)
- DOS
- Windows *
- Electronics
You don't have to list everything like I did, but it might help. Once we have names in, we'll allocate tasks around the group. The final product (the security scanner) will have:
- TCP scanning
- UDP scanning
- Ping sweeping
- SYN scanning (half-open scans)
- FIN scanning
- NULL scanning
- ACK scanning
- Xmas tree scanning
- Banner grabbing
And maybe other misc. things.
Those who have enough experience to do the major things in this product (raw sockets, threading, sockets etc...) should state this in their post :)
The program will be designed first for Linux, and then our windows coders can write the extra necessary code for Windows compatibility. Those that specialise in GUI programming can write a GUI front-end if so desired.
Please note, I intend this product to be a competitor for those trailing close behind Nmap, not bullshit...Anybody may take part.
Everybody who takes part will have their name appropriately stated in the credits, despite how big or small your part may be. ComSec, GSecur, would this project be open-source, or would we charge for it?
Feedback please, who likes the idea?
Thank you for your time.
Shaun.
