wap-nmap 1.1.0 released

The latest version of wap-nmap has been released... you can grab your copies from the download section. I've been doing some thinking about how much further I'd be able to
take wap-nmap... and I have to say that I think this will be the last
release. The reason being, that although nmap in itself, has a lot of features
that wap-nmap does not make use of, I can't safely implement it, for the main
reason that it would require root privileges. All the same though, I believe that wap-nmap has met the requirements and it works well. It does what I set out to achieve, and I'm
pretty happy with that. Of course, any of you out there are free to take the
code and continue developing it - that's what open source is all about isn't it?

I've also been thinking of starting web-nmap - a web based nmap tool to port
scan a users own machine - I think this has been done already, but what
the heck, I might just go ahead and implement it anyway! Apart from that, I'm also looking
into other security tools to see whether I could create a
wireless version or a web based version... If anyone has any
suggestions, do drop me a line.

I'd like to thank everyone who has helped with wap-nmap over the
months - it's been fun.
