    We will be updating the tool to ensure it works with NMAP and we will
    provide fresh dumps of the OPRP database for sure. Tweaks for the tool
    to do more things may not happen because it would make more sense to
    write a new tool from scratch than to hijack an existing one with a PERL
    script-- also to make the tool faster. NWRAP was just a clever hack to
    see the possibilities.

    Enumeration tools are funny creatures as they need a strange mix of
    intuitive usability and comprehensible categorization for providing
    variations of 3 simple answers: open, closed, and filtered. Use also
    dictates you include speed, throttling, quality checks, and a large
    assortment of protocol variations to make a knife that behaves like a
    scalpel, a broad sword, and both at the same time. Enumeration tool
    writers like the NMAP hackers, scanrand, etc. have my deepest respect.

    Sincerely,
    -pete.
