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,

hi all,
is there a solution for the problem of Jack Coates posted at 2006-05-01?
I use perl 5.8.7 and get the same problem:
Unable to recognise encoding of this document at
C:/Programme/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX/PurePerl/EncodingDetect.pm line 98.
<nmap-error>
<pid="3712"/>
<cmdline="'C:\Programme\nmap-4.03\nmap.exe' -v -v -v -sS -p 1-100 -O
-oX - 172.16.252.1"/>
<perl-msg>Document requires an element [Ln: 1, Col: 0]
</perl-msg>
<nmap-msg></nmap-msg>
</nmap-error>
regards
matthias

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.

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.

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.

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,
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.

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

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.

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. ~brandon On 5/2/06, Max <nm...@we...> wrote: > 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?
