10th Day of Christmas: nmap Scripting Engine (NSE)

 

nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) features many scripts that can be used in a network penetration test. It allows users to write and automate networking tasks. It is written with the following features in mind (http://nmap.org/book/nse.html#nse-intro):

  • Network Discovery

  • More Sophisticated Version Detection

  • Vulnerability Detection

  • Backdoor Detection

  • Vulnerability Exploitation

A list of available scripts can be found on the nmap documentation: http://nmap.org/nsedoc/.


NSE In Action

Performing network recon on my test machine (IP address: 192.168.2.1).


To obtain all the local configuration parameters via UDP port 67:

nmap -sU -p 67 --script dhcp-discover.nse 192.168.2.1

To check if various crawling utilities are allowed by the target machine:

nmap -p80 --script http-useragent-tester.nse 192.168.2.1
