I made every script follow a standard form: it starts with the id, followed by
the description. The description is contained in [[ ]] delimiters. The
description is in the global description variable, not in a LuaDoc comment.
Other LuaDoc information such as @args and @usage follows the description in a
comment.
The first paragraph of each description is a a short summary of what the script
does. More detailed information, if any, is given in following paragraphs.
I also improved some wording and formatting in a few cases.
* Instead of printing all disallowed entries it now only prints the
first 20. In verbose and debug modes it prints more entries, the exact
number depends on the debug and vebose level
* Prints out the number of disallowed entries
* Prints a message if a robot.txt file exists but has not entries.
* More resilient parsing and duplicate removal code
* Extended the line length to 50 characters so less vertical space used
of scripts chosen from when using -sC (but it's still just another category
and so can be chosen with --script like any other).
On top of updating the docs with information about this new category, I've
also updated sections to emphasize that the "default" category, -sC and -A
are considered intrusive and should not be run against target networks
without permission.
The new list is very similar to the previous "safe,intrusive" list:
Added: finger, ircServerInfo, RealVNC_auth_bypass
Removed: HTTPpasswd
Here are the 21 scripts in this new category:
anonFTP
dns-test-open-recursion
finger
ftpbounce
HTTPAuth
HTTP_open_proxy
ircServerInfo
MSSQLm
MySQLinfo
nbstat
RealVNC_auth_bypass
robots
rpcinfo
showHTMLTitle
showOwner
SMTPcommands
SNMPsysdesr
SSHv1-support
SSLv2-support
UPnP-info
zoneTrans
with http.get_url() or create more complex requests with
http.request(). There is also an http.get() function which takes
components (hostname, port, and path) rather than a URL. The
HTTPAuth, robots, and showHTMLTitle NSE scripts have been updated to
use this library. Sven Klemm wrote all of this code.
