QuickScan

Project Description:

Sometimes, in our jobs, we need to perform some quick tasks and get the results fast with only more relevant information. In these cases, although we can do advanced searches in search engines, we prefer the quick ones. Analogously speaking, we are going to talk about the quick searches. The Umit Project is a great graphical interface to NMAP – Network Mapper, which bring us all information we can get with the command line on a nice and complete interface.

So, what can we do to improve it?

We can help the network administrators by developing a “small version” of Umit to perform tasks of their jobs quick. In this small version the users could make some scans and get only relevant information about it. That information would be customizable.

The goal of this project is develop a “smaller Umit”, called Quick Scan that starts very fast and lightly, in which the user could make some scans with a friendly interface. The results would come back so quickly that the user wouldn't feel the time difference between the command line and the graphical interface. And then they have the option of making some scans with NMAP as fast as command line: Umit.
