Nocturnal

Hey im basically doing a project which involves creating a scanning a network,fingerprinting all the pcs and creatring a network map.The way im going about it is creating a java gui which a user will use to input commands into nmap,the network will then be scanned and and a network map will be created,the problem is how the hell will I put the copmmands from the java gui into nmap??Any help at all will be greatly appriciated..

i dont know anything about nmap but you could try as an alternative to use SNMP to do such as thing.

dont know anyhting about nmap either or how to accomplish this in java but in c/c++ you can call the system function to execute commands.

eg.

system("cd \abc\xyz");
system("dir");

those two lines would print out the dir etc.

If nmap was command line you could do something like this but i dont know the java code for the system function.

Look at nmapfe, it's a front-end GUI for nmap.

Running command line stuff from java is pretty simple

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(yourCommand);

// read command's output (which is your input) 
InputStream Reader in = new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(in);

// do whatever you want with the output
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
    System.out.println(line);
