nmap-scanner-general — Nmap::Scanner discussion

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Max <nm...@we...>]

Matthias,

Ah, that makes sense, Windows doesn't like single quotes.  I need to
change those to be double quotes to be portable for Windows users, the
single quotes
were for cygwin users who use paths with spaces, so should be

my $cmd = qq("$nmap" -v -v -v);

Would you be kind enough to try replacing the code below with the one
above and see if your script works with it on Windows?

Thank you for taking the time to find this issue, you will get credit
for the find in the Changes file once we determine if the above works
for you.

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Matthias W. <mw...@fh...>]

hi Max,

  I found the point: at $perl/site/lib/Nmap/Scanner/Scanner.pm there is 
the line 838:

  * my $cmd = "'$nmap' -v -v -v";

  Windows is confused by the inverted commad (''). I removed it and it's 
going fine.

thanks again
  matthias

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Max <nm...@we...>]

Hi Matthias,

I noticed a bug with 4.03 that is solved in 4.20 that happens if you
specify an nmap command-line with -sS and -sU and a port list with -P
N,N1, etc

the bug is that nmap outputs a warning message about 'UDP port scan
requested, but no UDP ports specified; skipping'

If you could, please upgrade to version 1.0 of Nmap-Scanner and re-run
your script, one of the fixes I did with 1.0 was to improve the
modules' error reporting .. .9 and earlier don't catch and report the
stderr from nmap properly, 1.0 does (from my testing).

Let me know what the results are after upgrading, and if the issue
persists please post code that you are using to the list so I can help
troubleshoot it / test it in my own environment to try to figure out
what is happening.

Thanks,
Max

  Yes, you are right ... I downgrad XML::SAX to version 0.12 and the empty

  It says that file or directory name is wrong - I don't know why. I will 
try to look on it.

  That's the strange point. If I exactly execute the cmdline everything

[Nmap-scanner-general] Version 1.0 of Nmap::Scanner released

[Max <nm...@we...>]

 Version 1.0 of Nmap::Scanner is now available for download.

Thanks to all of you who emailed me regarding problems you were having
with the module.

 Highlights of this release include:
*  XML scan processor now uses IPC::Open3, makes error reporting much nicer
* Added model objects Nmap::Scanner::Task (taskbegin and taskend XML),
Nmap::Scanner::TaskProgress (taskprogress XML), and
Nmap::Scanner::Distance (distance XML)
* Added 3 new events a user can register for
  - task_started
  - task_ended
  - task_progress

The above 3 events will let you immediately be notified when nmap
outputs taskbegin, taskend, and taskprogress elements .. good for GUIs
that show progress to a user.

 Thank you to everyone who posted problems, suggestions and patches.
 Your input is much appreciated!

 You can get the latest release via the Nmap::Scanner home page:

 http://nmap-scanner.sf.net/

 Please feel free to post any questions / problems / suggestions
 you have to the Source Forge mailing list for this project, to
 the "Help" forum available on the Source Forge project page, or to
 the bug tracker available via the SourceForge project page:

 http://www.sf.net/projects/nmap-scanner/

 Regards,
 Max

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Max <nm...@we...>]

Hmm, starting to get back into the module tonight, this error usually
happens when nmap throws an error that isn't handled by the module
correctly or that causes nmap to output an error message that XML::SAX
then cannot decipher as XML.

What happens when you run the command line below on your windows host?
 What output do you get?

please do also reply with the output from the perl script with
debugging on as I described in my previous email.

Thank you,
max

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Max <nm...@we...>]

Hi Matthias,

I will be updating the version before the end of November to work with
4.0.3, in the mean time can you turn on debugging and send the list
the output?

To do this, set

$Nmap::Scanner::DEBUG = 1;

In your script, somewhere after the

use Nmap::Scanner;

line and before you actually do your scan.

Max

[Nmap-scanner-general] Winter update

[Max S. <per...@us...>]

Hi,

I apologize for the overly long delay between Nmap::Scanner updates, I
wanted to wait until the SoC features died down (boy, what a great
group of new features this summer, eh?) .. I am planning on doing an
Nmap::Scanner update before the end of the new year, one that will
take into account all the changes to the XML that have occurred.

If any of you have features you would like me to add to this module
(flames ok, i know I have really been horrible about updating the
module this year), please let me know, now would be a great time to
express them as I will start on the code within the month.

Also, if anyone on this list is interested in helping, please let me
know, you will get full credit for your work and your help would
certainly make the release go faster than if I do it on my own :).

Thank you for being a member of this list, my best wishes to you all.

Regards,
Max

Sure sure,  and I will most likely use your module when it is
supported, but right now that is not the case and in a pinch i'll wade
through 10 layers of hashes to get what I need.

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Max <nm...@we...>]

If all you need is XML output from the module for a quick parse or
one-off / infrequently used script, my module is probably not as
useful as Nmap::Parser :) or just using the greppable output from nmap
in a shell pipeline or using a straight XML to hash-of-hashes module
like XML::Simple.

Why?  The point of my module is to make it easy to maintain a long
running, larger program that needs nmap functionality; by creating
classes from the XML output you get a more maintainable program ..
Nmap::Scanner gives you a tighter software 'contract' between your
program and nmap, which will help keep code that uses nmap in a larger
perl program readable and maintainable (in my opinion).  For a one
off, or quick 'grep' type scripts, Nmap::Scanner is probably more
effort to implement in a program than it is worth :).

I encourage you all to use this module, but I am not going to pretend
:p that this is the best ever module for working with nmap *or* that
it is *the* module to use in all situations requiring nmap.

I also understand that I need to update this module soon to work 100%
with the nmap 4.0.x release.  Will do that within the next week or
two.

Thank you to all of you who have tried this module, use this module,
and for all of the feedback (negative and positive) about the module.

Regards,
Max

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Brandon B. <be...@gm...>]

I had the exact same issue and gave up on Nmap::Scanner and just used
XML::Simple.  Here is the code below.

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumer;

$nmap =3D "\"c:\\Program Files\\nmap\\nmap.exe\" -v -v -v -sS -p 22-23
-O -A -oX -";

  $xml =3D new XML::Simple;
  $output =3D `$nmap $ip`;
  $data =3D $xml->XMLin($output);

Dumper($xml);

Hi Jack,

Please reply with the version of nmap, Windows, and perl you are using and =

will be happy to see if I can recreate and come up with a fix for this
problem.

Thank you for using the module, sorry you have run into this issue.

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] udp_scan problem

[Max <nm...@we...>]

Hi Julien,

I am sorry for the delayed response.  I have not tested the Nmap::Scanner
module against 4.0.x of nmap yet, but will this week and hopefully will hav=
e
a fix to make this work for you by the end of the weekend, which is probabl=
y
too late for you now, but maybe will let you use the module again another
time.

Again, my apologies for the delay in response and thank you for using the
module.

[Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Jack C. <ja...@mo...>]

Hi,

Thanks for this module, I've been struggling with Nmap-Parser-XML and this
looks much more promising. However, I'm having some trouble getting it to
work.

Script:
use Nmap::Scanner;
my $scanner =3D new Nmap::Scanner;
$scanner->tcp_syn_scan;
$scanner->add_scan_port('1-100');
$scanner->guess_os();
$scanner->add_target('172.16.252.1');
my $results =3D $scanner->scan();
my $xml =3D $results->as_xml();
print $xml;
exit 0;

Result:
Unable to recognise encoding of this document at
C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX/PurePerl/EncodingDetect.pm line 96.
<nmap-error>
  <pid=3D"1168"/>
  <cmdline=3D"'C:\Program Files\Nmap\nmap.exe' -v -v -v -sS -p 1-100 -O  -o=
X -
172.16.252.1"/>
  <perl-msg>Document requires an element [Ln: 1, Col: 0]
</perl-msg>
  <nmap-msg></nmap-msg>
</nmap-error>

I get the feeling that this is probably something simple, but STFW and RTFM
aren't turning anything up yet... everything I've read implies that PurePer=
l
is the right parser to use. However, since installing this parser PPM throw=
s
the same encoding error, so it looks like it's horked. Advice, please?

thanks,

[Nmap-scanner-general] udp_scan problem

[Moutet J. <jul...@gm...>]

Hi

I have problems with "udp_scan" scan type. When using provided examples
(scan_to_xml.pl by example), the output is:

# perl scan_to_xml.pl 192.168.1.10
<nmap-error>
  <pid=3D"5889"/>
  <cmdline=3D"'/usr/bin/nmap' -v -v -v -sS -sU -p
21,25,80,443,3306,8080,22,79,13,11,7,10 -P B -O  --max_rtt_timeout 200 -oX =
-
192.168.1.10"/>
  <perl-msg>Document requires an element [Ln: 1, Col: 1]
</perl-msg>
  <nmap-msg>ARNING: UDP scan was requested, but no udp ports were
specified.  Skipping this scan type.
</nmap-msg>
</nmap-error>

From command line, the result is the same.

The problem seems to be in the -p argument ( "U:" and "T:" ) :

# man nmap
[...]
PORT SPECIFICATION AND SCAN ORDER:
         -p <port ranges>: Only scan specified ports
           Ex: -p22; -p1-65535; -p U:53,111,137,T:21-25,80,139,8080
[...]

Informations:
nmap-scanner-0.9
nmap 4.0
perl 5.8.8


Any suggestions.
Thx in advance.

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] Install failing tests [signed]

[Max <nm...@we...>]

Hi,

    If you want to skip the tests or ignore the failures, use 'force'
    before the install command from the CPAN shell:

    cpan> force install Nmap::Scanner

    You are also the first person to post a bug in my testing code that
    has probably annoyed people for quite a while now .. I miscoded my
    skip() statements.  Thank you very much for bringing that to my
    attention, and I apologize for such poor testing code.
    
    I am planning on doing a new release within the next month to two 
    months, getting the module caught up with the new XML output and 
    scan types that nmap has added this last 6 months or so.

    Does anyone who is subscribed to this list use the verbose scan type
    setters, e.g.

    $scanner->tcp_connect_scan()

    or are you passing nmap arguments directly to the scan() method, e.g.

    $scanner->scan('-sV -sS -A');

    ??

Thank you,
Max

[Nmap-scanner-general] Install failing tests [signed]

[thefinn [c] <th...@tp...>]

Hi, I'm having a lot of problems installing. Can anyone tell me why, or 
how to get around the inbuilt tests?

Thanks
TheFinn.

[Nmap-scanner-general] having difficulties with event mode scanning

[Russell F. <r.f...@au...>]

Hi All,
	I am writing a script that will use nmap to do a scan and then use nasl
to run a nessus plugin from the command line for each port that is found
open.

I have taken the program as given in the synopsis (with minimal changes)
and it works fine for the batch mode scan but when I do the event mode
scans the call back routines never get called.

Any suggestions on how I can debug this?

I see there are debuging switches in the code but there is no documented
way of turning them on that I could find.

Cheers, Russell

Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] scan arguments questions

[Max <nm...@we...>]

Ravi,

    Right now the code won't let you do that, though the changes needed
    to let it do that are easy .. if you want to for now, you can add
    this code to open_nmap, after the line

    my $cmd = $this->_setup_cmdline($fast_options);

    in sub open_nmap.  New code ...

    my $cmd = $this->_setup_cmdline($fast_options);
    $cmd =~ s/-v -v -v //;
    $cmd =~ s/-oX - //;

    Thanks for pointing this out :).

Regards,
Max

[Nmap-scanner-general] scan arguments questions

[Ravi M. <rma...@vz...>]

Hi: the scan always uses the -v -v -v -oX options when it runs the scan. =
How do I disable it use these options instead use the options I want. =
For example I have the following code

my $scan =3D Nmap::Scanner->new();
my $opts =3D '-sP -n 10.1.30.*';
my ($pid, $in, $out, $err) =3D $scan->open_nmap($opts);


When I look the look at the output, I see that it uses the =
"/home/rmalghan/NMT/bin/nmap -v -v -v -sP -n -oX - 10.1.30.* ".

Thanks
Ravi

Max: please ignore my question. The IP address was not resolving to a
hostname and so I was seeing a empty hostname.

Thanks

Max: I upgraded to 0.7. I still get the same thing.

my $hosts = $results->get_host_list();
while(my $host = $hosts->get_next()) {
print "On ".  $host->hostname() .": \n";
}
