socket:connect(host.ip, port.number)
socket:connect(host.ip, port.number, port.protocol)
to this:
socket:connect(host, port)
connect can take host and port tables now, and the default protocol is
taken from the port table if possible.
o It no longer uses the global environment to store the modules table
o It now uses loadfile() to load the configuration files, which follows best practices better
o The module() line at the top of the configuration files is no longer required, but if it exists all that happens is a warning is printed
o Worked around what appears to be a bug in one person's Nmap install where absolute paths didn't resolve properly -- I couldn't replicate, but he confirmed it was fixed
* Updated the way authentication works on smb -- it's significantly cleaner now
* smb-enum-shares.nse gives significantly better output now (it checks if shares are writable)
* Added a script that checks if smbv2 is enabled on a server
* Added smb-psexec, a script for executing commands on a remote Windows server. I also included some default scripts, a compiled .exe to run everything, and a ton of documentation (in the form of NSEDoc)
* Added 'override' parameters to some of the functions in smb.lua, which lets the programmer override any field in an outgoing SMB packet without modifying smb.lua.
* Lots of random code cleanups in the smb-* scripts/libraries
check_globals script.
Commented-out two functions which are currently unused:
svcctl_Type_tostr() and svcctl_State_tostr()
and which call currently unavailable functions:
svcctl_Type_str() and svcctl_State_str()
(see http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q3/0194.html )
Often two (or more) scripts using the same library would
overwrite the globals each was using. This would result
in (at best) an error or (at worst) a deadlock.
The patch changes the global accesses to local.
line, not "\n\n", in the SMB and MSRPC scripts and modules. There are newer
versions of these files pending review, so this is just a quick measure to let
me use first paragraphs as summaries rather than first sentences.
license" to "Same as Nmap--See http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html" like
scripts commonly use. I added the field to some modules I know to be under the
Nmap license: bin, datafiles, dns, nmap, unpwdb. I left alone bin, bit, pcre,
and url, which come from outside sources.
smb-enumshares.nse, and smb-enumusers.nse. Also enhance the netbios.lua and
smb.lua modules. Remove the smb-enum.nse script. All these changes are from Ron
Bowes.
