qconn-exec

Attempts to identify whether a listening QNX QCONN daemon allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary operating system commands.

qscan

Repeatedly probe open and/or closed ports on a host to obtain a series of round-trip time values for each port. These values are used to group collections of ports which are statistically different from other groups. Ports being in different groups (or "families") may be due to network mechanisms such as port forwarding to machines behind a NAT.

Extracts information from Quake game servers and other game servers which use the same protocol.

quake3-info

Extracts information from a Quake3 game server and other games which use the same protocol.

quake3-master-getservers

rmi-dumpregistry

Connects to a remote RMI registry and attempts to dump all of its objects.

rmi-vuln-classloader

Tests whether Java rmiregistry allows class loading. The default configuration of rmiregistry allows loading classes from remote URLs, which can lead to remote code execution. The vendor (Oracle/Sun) classifies this as a design feature.

This script is based off PLCScan that was developed by Positive Research and Scadastrangelove (https://code.google.com/p/plcscan/). This script is meant to provide the same functionality as PLCScan inside of Nmap.

smb-brute

Attempts to guess username/password combinations over SMB, storing discovered combinations for use in other scripts. Every attempt will be made to get a valid list of users and to verify each username before actually using them. When a username is discovered, besides being printed, it is also saved in the Nmap registry so other Nmap scripts can use it. That means that if you're going to run smb-brute.nse, you should run other smb scripts you want. This checks passwords in a case-insensitive way, determining case after a password is found, for Windows versions before Vista.

smb-double-pulsar-backdoor

Checks if the target machine is running the Double Pulsar SMB backdoor.

smb-enum-domains

Attempts to enumerate domains on a system, along with their policies. This generally requires credentials, except against Windows 2000. In addition to the actual domain, the "Builtin" domain is generally displayed. Windows returns this in the list of domains, but its policies don't appear to be used anywhere.

smb-enum-groups

Obtains a list of groups from the remote Windows system, as well as a list of the group's users. This works similarly to enum.exe with the /G switch.

smb-enum-processes

Pulls a list of processes from the remote server over SMB. This will determine all running processes, their process IDs, and their parent processes. It is done by querying the remote registry service, which is disabled by default on Vista; on all other Windows versions, it requires Administrator privileges.

smb-enum-services

Retrieves the list of services running on a remote Windows system. Each service attribute contains service name, display name and service status of each service.

smb-enum-sessions

Enumerates the users logged into a system either locally or through an SMB share. The local users can be logged on either physically on the machine, or through a terminal services session. Connections to a SMB share are, for example, people connected to fileshares or making RPC calls. Nmap's connection will also show up, and is generally identified by the one that connected "0 seconds ago".

smb-enum-shares

Attempts to list shares using the srvsvc.NetShareEnumAll MSRPC function and retrieve more information about them using srvsvc.NetShareGetInfo. If access to those functions is denied, a list of common share names are checked.

smb-enum-users

Attempts to enumerate the users on a remote Windows system, with as much information as possible, through two different techniques (both over MSRPC, which uses port 445 or 139; see smb.lua). The goal of this script is to discover all user accounts that exist on a remote system. This can be helpful for administration, by seeing who has an account on a server, or for penetration testing or network footprinting, by determining which accounts exist on a system.

smb-flood

Exhausts a remote SMB server's connection limit by by opening as many connections as we can. Most implementations of SMB have a hard global limit of 11 connections for user accounts and 10 connections for anonymous. Once that limit is reached, further connections are denied. This script exploits that limit by taking up all the connections and holding them.

smb-ls

Attempts to retrieve useful information about files shared on SMB volumes. The output is intended to resemble the output of the UNIX ls command.

smb-mbenum

Queries information managed by the Windows Master Browser.

smb-os-discovery

Attempts to determine the operating system, computer name, domain, workgroup, and current time over the SMB protocol (ports 445 or 139). This is done by starting a session with the anonymous account (or with a proper user account, if one is given; it likely doesn't make a difference); in response to a session starting, the server will send back all this information.

smb-print-text

Attempts to print text on a shared printer by calling Print Spooler Service RPC functions.

smb-protocols

Attempts to list the supported protocols and dialects of a SMB server.

smb-psexec

Implements remote process execution similar to the Sysinternals' psexec tool, allowing a user to run a series of programs on a remote machine and read the output. This is great for gathering information about servers, running the same tool on a range of system, or even installing a backdoor on a collection of computers.

smb-security-mode

Returns information about the SMB security level determined by SMB.

smb-server-stats

Attempts to grab the server's statistics over SMB and MSRPC, which uses TCP ports 445 or 139.

smb-system-info

Pulls back information about the remote system from the registry. Getting all of the information requires an administrative account, although a user account will still get a lot of it. Guest probably won't get any, nor will anonymous. This goes for all operating systems, including Windows 2000.

smtp-vuln-cve2011-1720

Checks for a memory corruption in the Postfix SMTP server when it uses Cyrus SASL library authentication mechanisms (CVE-2011-1720). This vulnerability can allow denial of service and possibly remote code execution.

Checks for a format string vulnerability in the Exim SMTP server (version 4.70 through 4.75) with DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) support (CVE-2011-1764).

ssl-cert-intaddr

Reports any private (RFC1918) IPv4 addresses found in the various fields of an SSL service's certificate. These will only be reported if the target address itself is not private. Nmap v7.30 or later is required.

targets-ipv6-multicast-mld

Attempts to discover available IPv6 hosts on the LAN by sending an MLD (multicast listener discovery) query to the link-local multicast address (ff02::1) and listening for any responses.

Attempts to extract system information from the UPnP service.

uptime-agent-info

Gets system information from an Idera Uptime Infrastructure Monitor agent.
