o Add a function such as --disable-arp-ping which prevents hosts from
being automatically detected as 'up' just because they responded to
ARP. Instead, Nmap will actually send the requested host discovery
probes (ICMP ping packets, SYN packets, etc.) and only mark the host
as up if it responds on an IP level. This is how machines are
already treated if they're not on the local network (e.g. if ARP
discovery is unavailable). This technique is a bit slower and more
likely to miss hosts (e.g. if they're heavily firewalled) than ARP
discovery, but the option is needed to handle local networks which use
proxy ARP, which would otherwise cause all IPs to appear to be up.
o We should add fields to the service submitter [James is working on this]
(http://insecure.org/cgi-bin/submit.cgi?new-service) for the
application name and version.
