What I'm doing?

- Complete and improve interface

- Writing Core modifications

- Writing documnetation about implementation (it's to be easy on integration)

Independent Features

• Ubuntu/debian Package ( Package is done, now I'm making improvements and fixing issues on REVU waiting for a sponsor )

• Mac OS Package (with X11)/ Mac port file (I'm working on it)

• Export usr ( a scan) to HTML

• ... when this finished more will be added.

About Export scan to HTML

The idea it's make a similar like nmap output.

Try this and open output file with your browser:

nmap -oX output 192.168.1.1 --stylesheet http://nmap.org/data/nmap.xsl

The idea is write a engine to generate umit own xslt template.

Details about it available soon.

Abstract

The goal of my project it's make a better way to configure all Umit. With Preferences Umit should be able to change default paths, profile directorys, configuration colors, colors diff, fonts, proxy configuration, GUI configurable expose, create a config backups, reset to defaults. Another point of my project is make improvements on Interface Editor. Options should be listed in easy way and dynamic like have a good way that add new options.

Goal

The goal of my project it's create a Preferences Box to Umit. Actually a lot of applications have a Preferences Window where users can't configure all about a lot. Since a few years ago I see it in a lot of applications and I already do it long time a go in a IRC Script. After some years I want to do the same at Umit because I think that it's a crucial point. Based in a list of tabs should be have a trivial options like defaults path's to save scans, default configurations files, colors able to change by a graphical tool, Fonts, Proxy Config, Adjusting Tabs, change default name, change the dispose icons of Umit.\par

Another goal of my project it's made a better modifications on Interface Editor.

Benefits

Preferences Window is awesome because people don't like the same things and it's very nice change the preferences of Umit. Actually all definitions are in files and it have some interface to do some configurations on Umit but don't have a defined side to do it. With Preferences Window user can do change all proferences of Umit. Through new box user should be able to change colors, modify connection state like added a proxy with/without http mode, enable or disable debug in console, configuration tabs system, and make other important changes.
