[suggestion] Switch to msgpack for binary output #616

Open postmodern opened 3 years ago

postmodern commented 3 years ago

Instead of maintaining a custom binary output format, masscan could use libmsgpack to encode/decode the binary data from/to the struct fields.

Msgpack support could be added as an optional output format (ex: -oM?) and then eventually -oB would switch to msgpack format or possibly be deprecated.
