-ponymap
-=======
-
-`ponymap' is an experimental network scanner, of alpha quality so far.
-
-Replacing nmap is not the goal, even though it would be rather very nice to
-have a serious network scanner with a permissive license.
-
-The ultimate purpose of this scanner is bruteforcing hosts and ports in search
-of running services of a kind. It should be simple and straight-forward to
-either write your own service detection plugins, provided that you're familiar
-with writing asynchronous code, or to make changes to the existing ones.
-
-So far there are some problems with reliability, and some clever algorithm to
-avoid overloading the network is needed. Until then, you can use ulimit to cap
-the maximum number of concurrent connections.
-
-Building and Running
---------------------
-Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man
-Runtime dependenices: curses, openssl, Jansson, lua = 5.3 (optional)
-
- $ git clone https://github.com/pjanouch/ponymap.git
- $ git submodule init
- $ git submodule update
- $ mkdir build
- $ cd build
- $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_LUA=NO
- $ make
-
-To install the application, you can do either the usual:
- # make install
-
-Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
- $ cpack -G DEB
- # dpkg -i ponymap-*.deb
-
-Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with
-`fakeroot' or file ownership will end up wrong.
-
-Having the program installed, simply run it with no arguments to retrieve
-a usage text. Have fun scanning.
-
-Author's Notes
---------------
-This was quite an interesting project to write and it has taught me a lot about
-event loops. It would be relatively simple to plug in libuv if more robustness
-and portability is needed, though.
