Pentesting Tools

Nullinux – The Comprehensive SMB Enumeration Tool For Penetration Testing

Nullinux is an internal penetration testing tool for Linux that can be used to enumerate OS information, domain information, shares, directories, and users through SMB.

If no username and password are provided in the command line arguments, an anonymous login, or null session, is attempted.

Nullinux acts as a wrapper around the Samba tools smbclient & rpcclient to enumerate hosts using a variety of techniques.

Key Features:

  • Single or multi-host enumeration
  • Enumerate shares and list files in root directory
  • Enumerate users & groups
  • Multi-threaded RID Cycling
  • Creates a formatted nullinux_users.txt output file free of duplicates for further exploitation
  • Python 2.7 & 3 compatible

For more information, and example output, visit the wiki page.
