    Hi there.

    Try using Nlog. It seems to work relatively well to manage Nmap output
    using a web-based GUI.

    NLog is a set of PERL scripts for managing and analyzing your nmap 2.0+
    log
    files. It allows you to keep all of your scan logs in a single
    searchable
    database. The CGI interface for viewing your scan logs is completly
    customizable and easy to modify and improve. The core CGI script allows
    you
    to add your own extension scripts for different services, so all hosts
    with
    a certain service running will have a hyperlink to the extension script.
    An Overview:
    ------------------
    Basically this is a multi-purpose web-based nmap log browser. The
    extension
    scripts allow you to get detailed information about specific services
    like
    netbios, the RPC services, the finger service, and BIND version of a DNS
    server. It is extremely easy to create your own extensions for things
    like
    a snmpwalk wrapper, a popper vulnerablility check, etc.
    Nlog provides a standard database format to build your own scripts for
    any
    purpose. Whether to provide a graphical representation of a network or
    as a
    web based service gateway to an internal network. Included are the
    example
    CGI scripts, the nmap log to database conversion tool, a sample template
    for
    building your own PERL scripts, and couple extra scripts for dumping
    IP's
    from a domain and the like.
    A possible use of nlog is for a network administrator who scans his
    local
    network regularly, to make sure none of the machines are listening on
    wierd
    ports and that they all are running the services they should be. A cron
    script could scan his internal network, convert the log files to the
    database format and store them on a web server by time or date. The
    adminstrator could then load the nlog search form page preferably
    protected
    by the normal http authentication methods and run comparisons between
    databases collected on different dates or at different times from
    anywhere.
    If the web server is on a gateway machine, he could run RPC or finger
    requests on the internal hosts through the CGI interface thus removing
    his
    need to be on the possibly firewalled or masqued network to check a
    hosts
    status.

    Subject: Nmap output

    I am in the midst of a wide scale Pentest egangement for a client - they
    have 7 class C networks. We are overwhelmed with the output from nmap.
    Does anybody know of a tool to manage the output - preferably in a
    graphical format. I tried the XML output but cannot figure out what to
    do with that.
