o [NSE] High speed brute force HTTP authentication. Possibly POST and
GET/HEAD brute force cracking.
o Investigate and document how easy it is to drop Ncat.exe by itself
on other systems and have it work. We should also look into the
dependencies of Nmap and Zenmap. It may be instructive to look at
"Portable Firefox"
(http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable) which is
built using open source technology from portableapps.com, or look at
"The Network Toolkit" by Cace
(http://www.cacetech.com/products/network_toolkit.html). For Nmap
and Nping, we may want to improve our Winpcap to load as a DLL
without requiring installation. There is a separate TODO item for that.
o Consider offering a way to link Winpcap DLLs so that they start the
service as needed rather than requiring explicitly installing
Winpcap and having it start upon system boot. CACE has offered such
a thing for many years as WinPcap Pro
(http://www.cacetech.com/products/winpcap_pro.html). If we change
WinPcap in this way, we'd presumably want to also change the symbol
names as is done in WinPcap Pro. And it would mean that we have to
build our Winpcap binaries ourselves (including 64-bit). We might
even have to sign our drivers for 64-bit Windows.
o [NSE] BasicHTML/XML parser? For example, Sven Klemm wrote a script
which uses libxml2: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q3/0462.html
