Bug#353917: ITP: lanmap -- lanmap sits quietly on a network and builds a picture of what it sees.
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sebastien Delafond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: lanmap Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Ryan Flynn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://parseerror.com/lanmap/ * License : GPL Description : lanmap sits quietly on a network and builds a picture of what it sees. lanmap simply listens to all available traffic on the interface of your choice, figures out who's talking to who, and how much and using which protocols. From each packet we can usually glean some little hint at which machines exist, who is providing what services, and how heavily connected each machine is. Lanmap regularly generates a snapshot in the form of a human-readable 2d network graph. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

From each packet we can usually glean some little hint at (...) This software looks interesting, but very similar to PADS (http://passive.sourceforge.net/) which is already packaged for Debian. Besides being able to use Graphviz to generate network "maps" which differences does it have with Pads? Regards Javier signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I find the ability to generate a graphical representation of the harvested data to be indeed lanmap's greatest asset. I don't know of any other program, already packaged for Debian, that does that. Should the similarities between PADS and lanmap prevent the latter from being packaged for Debian ? I understand they both rely on passive network monitoring to produce info, but I still don't see that as an obstacle to packaging lanmap in Debian. I'm of course open to hearing any opinion on this matter :) Cheers, --Seb signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Maybe commenting on what features you feel "make a difference" on this package vs. others will help users decide which one to install. Regards Javier signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Right you are, I will rewrite the long description and emphasize how lanmap is different than other programs based on the same idea.
