Nmap for Android

2012-04-27T17:17:00.001-03:00

We are planning to use Nmap as a major component for the Android Network Scanner. With last year's Google Summer of Code, I had started writing my own host discovery and port scanning methods. Since Nmap covers almost all functionalities that we want in a Network Scanner, it is a better idea to integrate Nmap into the Network Scanner. Previously, I was using a cross-compiled binary using the

2012-02-25T23:10:00.000-02:00

One of our largest projects runs on Google App Engine, and it relies on a large set of data and aggregations that allows us to quickly show on a map the location where a report was originated. This data set is not exactly huge by any measure, but it is somehow complex and importing this data into Datastore involves the building of various aggregations to make our system run light and fast. We
