Hello folks,
I've committed several changes that have been on hold for a while to
the main nmap branch:
-- nse_string has been removed and equivalent, cleaner, procedures
have been moved to nse_main and nse_nsock.
-- Case insensitive categories.
-- Porttests and Hosttests tables are now in the Lua registry where they belong.
-- Each thread for a script gets its own action closure (and
upvalues). See:
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q2/0549.html-- script_scan_result structure has been changed to a class,
ScriptResult, that now uses std::strings to hold a Script's output and
id. This alleviates the need to manage memory on the heap explicitly
(malloc & free).
The change for the action closure is particularly large. Because most
of it had to be adapted for the main branch's nse_main (from my
branch), it needs more thorough testing. I would appreciate it if the
community would give the changes a try and report any problems or
comments here.
Thanks,
