nmap tools update

December 22nd, 2008 Posted in Computers, Software, Unspecific

I updated nmap-wrapper again, the pid file now works the way it is supposed to.  There is a slight issue because of the way perl spawns a child process when using backticks, but it does what I needed.  I also update nmap-search to work with the new output being used and fixed a couple of small issues.  I don’t use it much, I do more with nmap-diff, and that will have updates very soon as well.

I also added in a blacklist feature on nmap-wrapper.  The default location is /usr/local/etc/nmap/blacklist, and can be specified on the command line with -b.  If it is there it uses it.  It won’t error out if it does not exist, so get it right.  Basically it is a file with 1 IP per line and if an IP appears in that file it will not be scanned by nmap-wrapper.

I wrote a small PHP script to use the pid file from wrapper to be able to stop a specific scan or all the scans.  I used php because… ummm…  I don’t remember why I used php.  I’ll post it soon.  I want to clean it up first.
