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
faithwriters, hotmail, myspace, phpbb, and rockyou. I kept the output at
200 lines for now until we have more comprehensive limits on the unpwdb
module.
The only password that didn't come straight out of the databases was the
empty password. I added it manually at the top. The previous version of
passwords.lst had it too.
the script indicating where to download it if it is not available. Make
the script check whether the file is the normal binary from 5.20 or
before, or the XOR-encoded binary from 5.21.
* 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
* Cleaned up and function-ized the code. Planning to move the functions to http.lua or similar to let other scripts (like http-userdir-enum.nse) use them.
* Better support for different HTTP error codes
* Significantly improved detection of 404 pages to prevent false positives. Some of the techniques used:
- Request a non-existent page and check the status code
- If it's 200, try to remove anything that may change (times, URI, filenames, etc), md5 it if ssl is available, and store it. Request a second 404 page and do the same. If they don't match, abort.
- If it's any other error code, store it, and look for it in addition to 404 Not Found
- Request the root folder, /
- If it returns a 301 Move Permanently or 401 Authentication Required, abort
* Abstracted the fingerprints into files in the nselib/data directory:
- http-fingerprints: common files/folders
- yokoso-fingerprints: common applications (from the Yokoso project, by InGuardians -- used under the Nmap license with pemission from Kevin Johnson -- http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q3/0685.html)
* Added a script-arg that can display all output (except known 404s), instead of just 200 OK and 401 Authentication Required
* Added a lot of debugging messages
