Specifically, it +takes two Nmap XML output files and prints the differences between them. +It is capable of showing changes in host states (up or down), port +states (open, closed, etc.), script results, and changes in service and +OS detection. + +To install, run (as root) + python setup.py install +It's also possible to run the program from within the distribution +without installing it. + +Use "ndiff --help" for usage instructions. + +Here is a sample of the output: + +$ ./ndiff test-scans/random-1.xml test-scans/random-2.xml +-Nmap 4.85BETA4 at 2009-03-24 17:34 ++Nmap 4.85BETA4 at 2009-03-25 16:35 + + 10.137.81.38: + OS details: + FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE + Apple AirPort Extreme WAP v7.3.2 ++ APC Network Management Card (AOS 3.3.5) ++ Apple iPod touch audio player (iPhone OS 2.1) + ++10.181.218.66: ++Host is up. ++Not shown: 998 closed ports ++PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION ++222/tcp open rsh-spx ++8080/tcp filtered http-proxy + +-bpdygf-130.example.com (10.188.226.230): +-Host is up. +-Not shown: 1000 filtered ports + + ysqxnovik-508.example.com (10.253.52.142): + PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION ++1503/tcp closed imtc-mcs +-4567/tcp open tcpwrapped +-OS details: +- HP 4000M ProCurve switch (J4121A) +- Nortel 5530 Ethernet Routing Switch +- Nortel 5520 Ethernet Routing Switch +- Sun StorageTek 6140 NAS device +- FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE + + +Use -v or --verbose to see all hosts and ports, not just those that have +changed. + +Ndiff started as a project by Michael Pattrick <mpattrick@rhinovirus.org> +during the 2008 Google Summer of Code.

He wrote versions of the +program in Perl and C++, but the summer ended shortly after it was +decided to rewrite the program in Python for the sake of Windows +compatibility. This Python version is written by David Fifield +<david@bamsoftware.com>. + +Ndiff web site: https://nmap.org/ndiff/ |
