NDIFF(1)                        [FIXME: manual]                       NDIFF(1)



NAME
       ndiff - Utility to compare the results of Nmap scans

SYNOPSIS
       ndiff [options] {a.xml} {b.xml}

DESCRIPTION
       Ndiff is a tool to aid in the comparison of Nmap scans. It takes two
       Nmap XML output files and prints the differences between them: hosts
       coming up and down, ports becoming open or closed, etc.

       Ndiff compares two scans at a time. The first scan is called the A scan
       and the second scan is called the B scan.

OPTIONS SUMMARY
       -h, --help
           Show a help message and exit.

       -v, --verbose
           Include all hosts and ports in the output, not only those that have
           changed.

       --text
           Write output in human-readable text format.

       --xml
           This option is not currently supported.

       Any other arguments are taken to be the names of Nmap XML output files.
       There must be exactly two. The first one listed is the A scan and the
       second is the B scan.

BUGS
       Report bugs to the nmap-dev mailing list at nmap-dev@insecure.org.

HISTORY
       Ndiff started as a project by Michael Pattrick during the 2008 Google
       Summer of Code. Michael designed the program and led the discussion of
       its output formats. 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 (and Zenmap) compatibility.
       This Python version was written by David Fifield.
