Hi,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards.

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard the registration.


######### REGISTRATION ADMINISTRATION #########

While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific "Group Administration" page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):

  <https://savannah.nongnu.org/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8572>


######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  ndiff - a tool to diff nmap scans

System Group Name:
-----------------
  ndiff

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  Ndiff is a tool that allows the users to do a simple comparsion of any two nmap scans.  It is a very useful tool to help automated and make sense of large nmap scans.  I have a small presentation talking about it and several similar tools out at the NEbraskaCERT website http://www.nebraskacert.org/CSF/CSF-May2006.pdf

Ndiff was originally developed by a company named vinecorp.  Which now appears to be defunct http://www.vinecorp.com

Ndiff was released under the GPL2 and later license.  Ndiff for the most part still continues to work without any updates or new versions.  Some components such as nrun have issues with modern versions of PERL.

Probably the best current place to get access to the ndiff source code is at the Debian page for its source  http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/ndiff it has already been approved under the Debian licensing policies so it should readilly comply with Savannahs.

Ideally we'd like to see the following happen with the project:

o - Source code be available at a reasonable URL
o - Updates so all the components work correctly on Debian GNU/Linux and other GNU/Linux operating systems
o - Improved documentation/howto guide.  The current documentation is pretty good but improvement is possible
o - Become the default ndiff branch for all Linux distros
o - Extend the current datastore, possibly with sqlite to be able to handle larger scans
o - Possibly also submit to cpan, based on the releases from here
o - Finish the ndiff todo list :-)




Other Software Required:
------------------------
  PERL
Several PERL modules (Portscan, Getopt)
sqlite (possibly)
