Autoenum is a recon tool which performs automatic enumeration of services discovered. I built this to save some time during CTFs and pen testing environments (i.e. HTB, VulnHub, OSCP) and draws a bit from a number of existing tools including AutoRecon (https://github.com/Tib3rius/AutoRecon), Auto-Recon (https://github.com/Knowledge-Wisdom-Understanding/Auto-Recon), and nmapautomator (https://github.com/21y4d/nmapAutomator).
Could also be used in a real-life pentesting engagment. Currently has only been tested in kali. If you notice a bug or have a feature request not in to-do, please submit an issue or let know some other way(discord preferred). Thanks and enjoy autoenum!
How it Works?
Autoenum first runs 2 nmap scans in tandem, one scan looks specifically for service versions to run against searchsploit and the other is a scan dependent on the argument.
Every scan profile checks for services running, the type of scan is the only difference. After the scans are finished, the services/ports open and operating systems along with script output (if avaliable) is extracted and further analyzed.
If a certain service is found, Autoenum will begin enumerating by firing off a number of tools and create a dir for that service (i.e detecting http starts up nikto, wafw00f, gobuster, and others).
If a dependency required is not detected, that dependency will be auto installed and checked if there is a new update everytime the tool is run. Autoenum outputs this information in 2 main sections(scan type and loot dirs) with sub directories branching off depending on what is found.
