I wanted to create a "portable spider format" that would allow spider
results from one tool to be imported into another so each tool wouldn't have
to re-spider the site. I was going to develop the first plugin for w3af and
then begin work on others. While working on it I couldn't decide on a
fundamental architecture, xml or database? I discussed this with Kevin
Johnson at SANSFire 2009 and he felt that the database is the better choice
while I was slightly leaning in the other direction.
Database
+ Easier to query
+ Easier for the average person to develop additional features
- More difficult to write - requires more checking for libraries
- Implementation for each RDMS
XML's Pros and Cons are the opposite of the database.
Anyone have any good thoughts on the subject?
Also, anyone have any other good name ideas?
- Shelob - Spider from Lord of the Rings
- Loth - Spider God (from D&D)
- STFU - Spider Transcript Format - Universal
- ???
