Nmap: [Feature Request] Add the colour output from Zenmap into nmap (New flag? --color)

[g0tmi1k]

I would like to see a new option/flag in nmap to give the command line and same colour display output thats in the in the GUI Zenmap.

By doing something like nmap 192.168.0/24 --colour (or nmap 192.168.0/24 --color!) it will also display the same colours on the same fields if you were to use Zenmap.

Left side: Just white text
Right side: black text, with blue & green and white highlights.

I'm also interested in this feature! There are cw (https://cwrapper.sourceforge.net) and cope (https://github.com/yogan/cope) wrapper available but they don't work for me.

It is far too much work to use ANSI-sequences. In some of my own programs, I've used a home-brew C_printf() with Win-console + ANSI-sequence support. E.g. a

C_printf ("~4Hello ~2world~0.\n");

will print to stdout with Hello mapped to colour 4 and and world mapped to colour 2:

I'm also very interested in this. I'd love for the text output to be easier to read.

For the time being, I'm using grc (https://github.com/garabik/grc) to give nmap a splash of colour

$ grc nmap -v localhost
