NullScan : A Modular Framework Designed To Chain & Automate Security Tests

NullScan is a modular framework designed to chain and automate security tests. It parses target definitions from the command line and runs corresponding modules and their nullscan-tools afterwards.

It can also take hosts and start nmap first in order to perform a basic portscan and run the modules afterwards. Also, nullscan can parse a given nmap logfile for open tcp and udp ports and again run the modules afterwards.

All results will be logged in specified directories with a clean structure and a HTML report can subsequently be generated.

Usage

[ hacker@blackarch ~ ]$ nullscan -H
–==[ by nullsecurity.net ]==–

Usage

nullscan <modes> [options] | <misc>

Modes
-t <targets> – hosts to scan via nmap and then attack – ? for info
-u <uris> – targets to attack directly via URIs – ? for info
-l <file> – parse nmap xml logfile and attack hosts on open ports

Options
-o<opts> – extra options for modes – ? for info
-i<mods> – include modules (default: all) – ? for info
-I <tools> – include tools (default: all) – ? for info
-x <mods> – exclude modules (default: see nullscan.cfg) – ? for info
-X <tools> – exclude tools (default: see nullscan.cfg) – ? for info
-T <num> – num workers for parallel target checks (default: 15)
-M <num> – num workers to run parallel modules (default: 10)
-P <num> -workers to run parallel tools (default: 15)
-k <sec> – seconds for tool (global) timeout (default: 0.0)
-r – generate an html report
-R <dir> – work, log and report dir (default: pwd + date)
-c <file> – config file (default: /etc/nullscan.conf)
-v – verbose mode (default: false)
-d – debug mode (default: false)

Misc
-C – check for missing tools (recommended)
-p <args> – print tools and exit – ? for info
-m <args>- create and add a new module – ? for info
-a <args>- add tool to existing module – ? for info
-V – print version of nullscan and exit
-H – print this help and exit

Examples
-t 192.168.0.0/24 -i tcp=ssh,http -r -I hydra_ssh,crack_http_auth
-u ‘tcp://nsa.gov:80=http,22=ssh;udp://foo.bar:1337;
http://fbi.gov,https://cia.gov;mail://foo@bar.baz;
person://justin bieber,noptrix;lan://eth0,tap0;wifi://wlan0′
-o ‘user=root;plists=/tmp/pwds.txt;rhost=192.168.0.1;
sport=1337;dirsearch_web=-o my -p “own opts” -c 1 -f 4;’
-n /tmp/scanned.xml -i ‘host=icmp;tcp=default’ -r
-l hosts.txt -X sqlmap,wpscan -v -o ‘httping_web=-p cia.gov;
rpcdump_udp=-f foo -b bar;nmap=-sT,-n,-p-;’
-p ‘tcp=ssh,http;host=zonetransfer;udp’
-m ‘icmp/ping ping_flood ping -f -s 9999’
-a ‘tcp/ssh crack_ssh sshcracker -c arg -f arg’

Installation

Run setup.sh. Install needed python modules afterwards using pip install -r docs/requirements.txt.

Notes

  • Please check the manpage from docs/nullscan.1
  • Use ‘?’ option-value for any cmdline options. It gives you information for usage and examples.
  • clean code; real project
  • nullscan is already packaged and available for BlackArch Linux
  • My master-branches are always stable; dev-branches are created for current work.
  • All of my public stuff you find are officially announced and published via nullsecurity.net.
