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
within a larger scan. The information is added to the XML host
element like so: [host starttime="1198292349" endtime="1198292370"]
(but of couse with angle brackets rather than square ones). It is
also printed in normal output if -d or "-v -v" are
specified. [Brandon, Kris, Fyodor]
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.
line, since this can differ from the reverse DNS results. It can be
particularly important when doing HTTP tests against virtual hosts.
The data can be accessed from target->HostName() from Nmap proper
and host.targetname from NSE scripts. The NSE HTTP library now uses
this for the Host header. Thanks to Sven Klemm for adding this
useful feature.
