comments about existing text. I think the complicated and changing
nature of NSE had made it hard to write about it in a concise and easy
to understand way.
as banner-grabbing (get_banner()) and making a quick exchange of data
(exchange()). 16 scripts were updated to use this library. [Kris]
I have *not* been able to test all of these scripts; however, I have
reviewed them and they should all work properly. I would really like
some more testing, though :)
This commit includes scripting.xml documentation.
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

element like so: [host starttime="1198292349" endtime="1198292370"]

also printed in normal output if -d or "-v -v" are

guide. They don't honor scan delay and may violate congestion control.
Both this things should be fixed. I was going to do it by having
get_next_target_probe just return the same probe multiple times, and
then either extend struct probespec to include a source address or have
sendIPScanProbe keep track of the decoy index and fill in source
addresses. But I was stopped by timing pings. Those should certainly be
decoyed, but in the code they are just sent as they are needed, and
don't have a dispatching function to modify. What would be good is a
global queue of probes waiting to be sent you could just insert all your
spoofed probes into, and then let the rest of the code take care of
scheduling them.
