- Multi-threaded (thanks to nselib/brute.lua)
- Can automatically reduce number of threads if it senses that the
target supports less than what brute.lua wants to use. Without this
feature the script tends to bail out because brute.lua default of 10
threads is too much for a lot of telnet targets. This saves the user
the trouble of finding out how much the target can take before
launching the script.
- Uses connection pooling for sending multiple login attempts across
the same connection. This significantly improves performance.
- Supports password-only logins.
Other changes:
- Fixed support for Windows telnet service.
Added support for Netgear RM356.
- Improved accuracy of target state detection.
Tested on:
- Cisco IOS
- Linux telnetd
- Windows telnet service
- Digital Sprite 2
- Nortel Contivity
- Netgear RM356
- Hummingbird telnetd
Not all SSH key formats use base64 encoding, for example SSH1 keys looks
different. So we can't blindly base64-encode the raw strings that we
receive. Attempt to return keys in the same format as is used by the
known_hosts file.
Marin Maržić noticed that port.service is set even for unmatched
services. We want this script to run especially for ports 80 and 443.

Apparently it only worked before when you were running from an Nmap
source directory, where nselib was in the current directory.
Roy Woods reported the problem.

If you ran the (fortunately non-default) http-domino-enum-passwords
script with the (fortunately also non-default)
domino-enum-passwords.idpath parameter against a malicious server,
it could cause an arbitrarily named file to to be written to the
client system. Thanks to Trustwave researcher Piotr Duszynski for
discovering and reporting the problem. We've fixed that script, and
also updated several other scripts to use a new
stdnse.filename_escape function for extra safety. This breaks our
record of never having a vulnerability in the 16 years that Nmap has
existed, but that's still a fairly good run. [David, Fyodor]
This case wasn't properly handled. Simply return nil.
It could also return 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.0/8 instead
of early exit though I doubt it makes that much sense
for user.
Removed some non-ANSI-C strftime format strings ("%F") and
locale-dependent formats ("%c") from NSE scripts and libraries.
C99-specified %F was noticed by Alex Weber
