nmap

PkgGoDev github.com/Ullaakut/nmap/v2

This library aims at providing idiomatic nmap bindings for go developers, in order to make it easier to write security audit tools using golang.

What is nmap

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a free and open-source network scanner created by Gordon Lyon. Nmap is used to discover hosts and services on a computer network by sending packets and analyzing the responses.

Nmap provides a number of features for probing computer networks, including host discovery and service and operating system detection. These features are extensible by scripts that provide more advanced service detection, vulnerability detection, and other features. Nmap can adapt to network conditions including latency and congestion during a scan.

Why use go for penetration testing

Most pentest tools are currently written using Python and not Go, because it is easy to quickly write scripts, lots of libraries are available, and it's a simple language to use. However, for writing robust and reliable applications, Go is the better tool. It is statically compiled, has a static type system, much better performance, it is also a very simple language to use and goroutines are awesome... But I might be slighly biased, so feel free to disagree.

Supported features

  • All of nmap's native options.
  • Additional idiomatic go filters for filtering hosts and ports.
  • Cancellable contexts support.
  • Helpful enums for nmap commands. (time templates, os families, port states, etc.)
  • Complete documentation of each option, mostly insipred from nmap's documentation.

TODO

  • Add asynchronous scan, send scan progress percentage and time estimation through channel

Simple example

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "time"

    "github.com/Ullaakut/nmap/v2"
)

func main() {
    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Minute)
    defer cancel()

    // Equivalent to `/usr/local/bin/nmap -p 80,443,843 google.com facebook.com youtube.com`,
    // with a 5 minute timeout.
    scanner, err := nmap.NewScanner(
        nmap.WithTargets("google.com", "facebook.com", "youtube.com"),
        nmap.WithPorts("80,443,843"),
        nmap.WithContext(ctx),
    )
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("unable to create nmap scanner: %v", err)
    }

    result, warnings, err := scanner.Run()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("unable to run nmap scan: %v", err)
    }

    if warnings != nil {
        log.Printf("Warnings: \n %v", warnings)
    }

    // Use the results to print an example output
    for _, host := range result.Hosts {
        if len(host.Ports) == 0 || len(host.Addresses) == 0 {
            continue
        }

        fmt.Printf("Host %q:\n", host.Addresses[0])

        for _, port := range host.Ports {
            fmt.Printf("\tPort %d/%s %s %s\n", port.ID, port.Protocol, port.State, port.Service.Name)
        }
    }

    fmt.Printf("Nmap done: %d hosts up scanned in %3f seconds\n", len(result.Hosts), result.Stats.Finished.Elapsed)
}

The program above outputs:

Host "172.217.16.46":
    Port 80/tcp open http
    Port 443/tcp open https
    Port 843/tcp filtered unknown
Host "31.13.81.36":
    Port 80/tcp open http
    Port 443/tcp open https
    Port 843/tcp open unknown
Host "216.58.215.110":
    Port 80/tcp open http
    Port 443/tcp open https
    Port 843/tcp filtered unknown
Nmap done: 3 hosts up scanned in 1.29 seconds

Functions

func WithACKDiscovery 

func WithACKDiscovery(ports ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithACKDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use ACK packets. If the portList argument is empty, this will enable ACK discovery for all ports. Otherwise, it will be only for the specified ports.

func WithACKScan 

func WithACKScan() func(*Scanner)

WithACKScan sets the scan technique to use ACK packets over TCP. This scan is unable to determine if a port is open. When scanning unfiltered systems, open and closed ports will both return a RST packet. Nmap then labels them as unfiltered, meaning that they are reachable by the ACK packet, but whether they are open or closed is undetermined.

func WithASCIIData 

func WithASCIIData(data string) func(*Scanner)

WithASCIIData appends a custom ascii-encoded payload to sent packets.

func WithAggressiveScan 

func WithAggressiveScan() func(*Scanner)

WithAggressiveScan enables the use of aggressive scan options. This has the same effect as using WithOSDetection, WithServiceInfo, WithDefaultScript and WithTraceRoute at the same time. Because script scanning with the default set is considered intrusive, you should not use this method against target networks without permission.

func WithAppendOutput 

func WithAppendOutput() func(*Scanner)

WithAppendOutput makes nmap append to files instead of overwriting them. Currently does nothing, since this library doesn't write in files.

func WithBadSum 

func WithBadSum() func(*Scanner)

WithBadSum makes nmap send an invalid TCP, UDP or SCTP checksum for packets sent to target hosts. Since virtually all host IP stacks properly drop these packets, any responses received are likely coming from a firewall or IDS that didn't bother to verify the checksum.

func WithBinaryPath 

func WithBinaryPath(binaryPath string) func(*Scanner)

WithBinaryPath sets the nmap binary path for a scanner.

func WithConnectScan 

func WithConnectScan() func(*Scanner)

WithConnectScan sets the scan technique to use TCP connections. This is the default method used when a user does not have raw packet privileges. Target machines are likely to log these connections.

func WithConsecutivePortScanning 

func WithConsecutivePortScanning() func(*Scanner)

WithConsecutivePortScanning makes the scan go through ports consecutively instead of picking them out randomly.

func WithContext 

func WithContext(ctx context.Context) func(*Scanner)

WithContext adds a context to a scanner, to make it cancellable and able to timeout.

func WithCustomArguments 

func WithCustomArguments(args ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithCustomArguments sets custom arguments to give to the nmap binary. There should be no reason to use this, unless you are using a custom build of nmap or that this repository isn't up to date with the latest options of the official nmap release. You can use this as a quick way to paste an nmap command into your go code, but remember that the whole purpose of this repository is to be idiomatic, provide type checking, enums for the values that can be passed, etc.

func WithCustomDNSServers 

func WithCustomDNSServers(dnsServers ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithCustomDNSServers sets custom DNS servers for the scan. List format: dns1[,dns2],...

func WithDataDir 

func WithDataDir(directoryPath string) func(*Scanner)

WithDataDir specifies a custom data directory for nmap to get its nmap-service-probes, nmap-services, nmap-protocols, nmap-rpc, nmap-mac-prefixes, and nmap-os-db.

func WithDataLength 

func WithDataLength(length int) func(*Scanner)

WithDataLength appends a random payload of the given length to sent packets.

func WithDebugging 

func WithDebugging(level int) func(*Scanner)

WithDebugging sets and increases the debugging level of nmap.

func WithDecoys 

func WithDecoys(decoys ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithDecoys causes a decoy scan to be performed, which makes it appear to the remote host that the host(s) you specify as decoys are scanning the target network too. Thus their IDS might report 5–10 port scans from unique IP addresses, but they won't know which IP was scanning them and which were innocent decoys. While this can be defeated through router path tracing, response-dropping, and other active mechanisms, it is generally an effective technique for hiding your IP address. You can optionally use ME as one of the decoys to represent the position for your real IP address. If you put ME in the sixth position or later, some common port scan detectors are unlikely to show your IP address at all.

func WithDefaultScript 

func WithDefaultScript() func(*Scanner)

WithDefaultScript sets the scanner to perform a script scan using the default set of scripts. It is equivalent to --script=default. Some of the scripts in this category are considered intrusive and should not be run against a target network without permission.

func WithDisabledDNSResolution 

func WithDisabledDNSResolution() func(*Scanner)

WithDisabledDNSResolution disables DNS resolution in the discovery step of the nmap scan.

func WithFTPBounceScan 

func WithFTPBounceScan(FTPRelayHost string) func(*Scanner)

WithFTPBounceScan sets the scan technique to use the an FTP relay host. It takes an argument of the form "<username>:<password>@<server>:<port>. <Server>". You may omit <username>:<password>, in which case anonymous login credentials (user: anonymous password:-wwwuser@) are used. The port number (and preceding colon) may be omitted as well, in which case the default FTP port (21) on <server> is used.

func WithFastMode 

func WithFastMode() func(*Scanner)

WithFastMode makes the scan faster by scanning fewer ports than the default scan.

func WithFilterHost 

func WithFilterHost(hostFilter func(Host) bool) func(*Scanner)

WithFilterHost allows to set a custom function to filter out hosts that don't fulfill a given condition. When the given function returns true, the host is kept, otherwise it is removed from the result. Can be used along with WithFilterPort.

func WithFilterPort 

func WithFilterPort(portFilter func(Port) bool) func(*Scanner)

WithFilterPort allows to set a custom function to filter out ports that don't fulfill a given condition. When the given function returns true, the port is kept, otherwise it is removed from the result. Can be used along with WithFilterHost.

func WithForcedDNSResolution 

func WithForcedDNSResolution() func(*Scanner)

WithForcedDNSResolution enforces DNS resolution in the discovery step of the nmap scan.

func WithFragmentPackets 

func WithFragmentPackets() func(*Scanner)

WithFragmentPackets enables the use of tiny fragmented IP packets in order to split up the TCP header over several packets to make it harder for packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and other annoyances to detect what you are doing. Some programs have trouble handling these tiny packets.

func WithHexData 

func WithHexData(data string) func(*Scanner)

WithHexData appends a custom hex-encoded payload to sent packets.

func WithHostTimeout 

func WithHostTimeout(timeout time.Duration) func(*Scanner)

WithHostTimeout sets the time after which nmap should give up on a target host.

func WithICMPEchoDiscovery 

func WithICMPEchoDiscovery() func(*Scanner)

WithICMPEchoDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use an ICMP type 8 packet (an echo request), like the standard packets sent by the ping command. Many hosts and firewalls block these packets, so this is usually not the best for exploring networks.

func WithICMPNetMaskDiscovery 

func WithICMPNetMaskDiscovery() func(*Scanner)

WithICMPNetMaskDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use an ICMP type 17 packet (an address mask request). This query can be valuable when administrators specifically block echo request packets while forgetting that other ICMP queries can be used for the same purpose.

func WithICMPTimestampDiscovery 

func WithICMPTimestampDiscovery() func(*Scanner)

WithICMPTimestampDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use an ICMP type 13 packet (a timestamp request). This query can be valuable when administrators specifically block echo request packets while forgetting that other ICMP queries can be used for the same purpose.

func WithIPOptions 

func WithIPOptions(options string) func(*Scanner)

WithIPOptions uses the specified IP options to send packets. You may be able to use the record route option to determine a path to a target even when more traditional traceroute-style approaches fail. See http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2006/q3/52 for examples of use.

func WithIPProtocolPingDiscovery 

func WithIPProtocolPingDiscovery(protocols ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithIPProtocolPingDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use the IP protocol ping. If no protocols are specified, the default is to send multiple IP packets for ICMP (protocol 1), IGMP (protocol 2), and IP-in-IP (protocol 4).

func WithIPProtocolScan 

func WithIPProtocolScan() func(*Scanner)

WithIPProtocolScan sets the scan technique to use the IP protocol. IP protocol scan allows you to determine which IP protocols (TCP, ICMP, IGMP, etc.) are supported by target machines. This isn't technically a port scan, since it cycles through IP protocol numbers rather than TCP or UDP port numbers.

func WithIPTimeToLive 

func WithIPTimeToLive(ttl int16) func(*Scanner)

WithIPTimeToLive sets the IP time-to-live field of IP packets.

func WithIPv6Scanning 

func WithIPv6Scanning() func(*Scanner)

WithIPv6Scanning enables the use of IPv6 scanning.

func WithIdleScan 

func WithIdleScan(zombieHost string, probePort int) func(*Scanner)

WithIdleScan sets the scan technique to use a zombie host to allow for a truly blind TCP port scan of the target. Besides being extraordinarily stealthy (due to its blind nature), this scan type permits mapping out IP-based trust relationships between machines.

func WithInitialRTTTimeout 

func WithInitialRTTTimeout(roundTripTime time.Duration) func(*Scanner)

WithInitialRTTTimeout sets the initial probe round trip time.

func WithInterface 

func WithInterface(iface string) func(*Scanner)

WithInterface specifies which network interface to use for scanning.

func WithInterfaceList 

func WithInterfaceList() func(*Scanner)

WithInterfaceList makes nmap print host interfaces and routes.

func WithListScan 

func WithListScan() func(*Scanner)

WithListScan sets the discovery mode to simply list the targets to scan and not scan them.

func WithMTU 

func WithMTU(offset int) func(*Scanner)

WithMTU allows you to specify your own offset size for fragmenting IP packets. Using fragmented packets allows to split up the TCP header over several packets to make it harder for packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and other annoyances to detect what you are doing. Some programs have trouble handling these tiny packets.

func WithMaimonScan 

func WithMaimonScan() func(*Scanner)

WithMaimonScan sends the same packets as NULL, FIN, and Xmas scans, except that the probe is FIN/ACK. Many BSD-derived systems will drop these packets if the port is open.

func WithMaxHostgroup 

func WithMaxHostgroup(size int) func(*Scanner)

WithMaxHostgroup sets the maximal parallel host scan group size.

func WithMaxParallelism 

func WithMaxParallelism(probes int) func(*Scanner)

func WithMaxScanDelay 

func WithMaxScanDelay(timeout time.Duration) func(*Scanner)

WithMaxScanDelay sets the maximum time to wait between each probe sent to a host.

func WithMinHostgroup 

func WithMinHostgroup(size int) func(*Scanner)

func WithMinRate(packetsPerSecond int) func(*Scanner)

WithMinRate sets the minimal number of packets sent per second.

func WithMostCommonPorts 

func WithMostCommonPorts(number int) func(*Scanner)

WithMostCommonPorts sets the scanner to go through the provided number of most common ports.

func WithNoStylesheet 

func WithNoStylesheet() func(*Scanner)

func WithOSDetection 

func WithOSDetection() func(*Scanner)

WithOSDetection enables OS detection.

func WithOSScanGuess 

func WithOSScanGuess() func(*Scanner)

WithOSScanGuess makes nmap attempt to guess the OS more aggressively.

func WithOSScanLimit 

func WithOSScanLimit() func(*Scanner)

WithOSScanLimit sets the scanner to not even try OS detection against hosts that do have at least one open TCP port, as it is unlikely to be effective. This can save substantial time, particularly on -Pn scans against many hosts. It only matters when OS detection is requested with -O or -A.

func WithOpenOnly 

func WithOpenOnly() func(*Scanner)

WithOpenOnly makes nmap only show open ports.

func WithPacketTrace 

func WithPacketTrace() func(*Scanner)

WithPortExclusions sets the ports that the scanner should not scan on each host.

func WithPortRatio 

func WithPortRatio(ratio float32) func(*Scanner)

func WithResumePreviousScan(filePath string) func(*Scanner)

WithResumePreviousScan makes nmap continue a scan that was aborted, from an output file.

func WithSCTPCookieEchoScan 

func WithSCTPCookieEchoScan() func(*Scanner)

WithSCTPCookieEchoScan sets the scan technique to use SCTP packets containing a COOKIE-ECHO chunk. The advantage of this scan type is that it is not as obvious a port scan than an INIT scan. Also, there may be non-stateful firewall rulesets blocking INIT chunks, but not COOKIE ECHO chunks.

func WithSCTPDiscovery 

func WithSCTPDiscovery(ports ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithSCTPDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use SCTP packets containing a minimal INIT chunk. If the portList argument is empty, this will enable SCTP discovery for all ports. Otherwise, it will be only for the specified ports. Warning: on Unix, only the privileged user root is generally able to send and receive raw SCTP packets.

func WithSCTPInitScan 

func WithSCTPInitScan() func(*Scanner)

WithSCTPInitScan sets the scan technique to use SCTP packets containing an INIT chunk. It can be performed quickly, scanning thousands of ports per second on a fast network not hampered by restrictive firewalls. Like SYN scan, INIT scan is relatively unobtrusive and stealthy, since it never completes SCTP associations.

func WithSYNDiscovery 

func WithSYNDiscovery(ports ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithSYNDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use SYN packets. If the portList argument is empty, this will enable SYN discovery for all ports. Otherwise, it will be only for the specified ports.

func WithSYNScan 

func WithSYNScan() func(*Scanner)

WithSYNScan sets the scan technique to use SYN packets over TCP. This is the default method, as it is fast, stealthy and not hampered by restrictive firewalls.

func WithScanDelay 

func WithScanDelay(timeout time.Duration) func(*Scanner)

WithScanDelay sets the minimum time to wait between each probe sent to a host.

func WithScriptArguments 

func WithScriptArguments(arguments map[string]string) func(*Scanner)

WithScriptArguments provides arguments for scripts. If a value is the empty string, the key will be used as a flag.

func WithScriptArgumentsFile 

func WithScriptArgumentsFile(inputFilePath string) func(*Scanner)

WithScriptArgumentsFile provides arguments for scripts from a file.

func WithScriptTrace 

func WithScriptTrace() func(*Scanner)

WithScriptTrace makes the scripts show all data sent and received.

func WithScriptUpdateDB 

func WithScriptUpdateDB() func(*Scanner)

WithScriptUpdateDB updates the script database.

func WithScripts(scripts ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithScripts sets the scanner to perform a script scan using the enumerated scripts, script directories and script categories.

func WithSendEthernet 

func WithSendEthernet() func(*Scanner)

WithSendEthernet makes nmap send packets at the raw ethernet (data link) layer rather than the higher IP (network) layer. By default, nmap chooses the one which is generally best for the platform it is running on.

WithSendIP makes nmap send packets via raw IP sockets rather than sending lower level ethernet frames.

func WithServiceInfo 

func WithServiceInfo() func(*Scanner)

WithServiceInfo enables the probing of open ports to determine service and version info.

func WithSkipHostDiscovery 

func WithSkipHostDiscovery() func(*Scanner)

WithSkipHostDiscovery diables host discovery and considers all hosts as online.

func WithSourcePort 

func WithSourcePort(port int16) func(*Scanner)

WithSourcePort specifies from which port to scan.

func WithSpoofIPAddress 

func WithSpoofIPAddress(ip string) func(*Scanner)

WithSpoofIPAddress spoofs the IP address of the machine which is running nmap. This can be used if nmap is unable to determine your source address. Another possible use of this flag is to spoof the scan to make the targets think that someone else is scanning them. The WithInterface option and WithSkipHostDiscovery are generally required for this sort of usage. Note that you usually won't receive reply packets back (they will be addressed to the IP you are spoofing), so Nmap won't produce useful reports.

func WithSpoofMAC 

func WithSpoofMAC(argument string) func(*Scanner)

WithSpoofMAC uses the given MAC address for all of the raw ethernet frames the scanner sends. This option implies WithSendEthernet to ensure that Nmap actually sends ethernet-level packets. Valid argument examples are Apple, 0, 01:02:03:04:05:06, deadbeefcafe, 0020F2, and Cisco.

func WithStatsEvery 

func WithStatsEvery(interval string) func(*Scanner)

WithStatsEvery periodically prints a timing status message after each interval of time.

func WithStylesheet 

func WithStylesheet(stylesheetPath string) func(*Scanner)

WithStylesheet makes nmap apply an XSL stylesheet to transform its XML output to HTML.

func WithSystemDNS 

func WithSystemDNS() func(*Scanner)

WithSystemDNS sets the scanner's DNS to the system's DNS.

func WithTCPFINScan 

func WithTCPFINScan() func(*Scanner)

WithTCPFINScan sets the scan technique to use TCP packets with the FIN flag set. This scan method can be used to exploit a loophole in the TCP RFC. If an RST packet is received, the port is considered closed, while no response means it is open|filtered.

func WithTCPNullScan 

func WithTCPNullScan() func(*Scanner)

WithTCPNullScan sets the scan technique to use TCP null packets. (TCP flag header is 0). This scan method can be used to exploit a loophole in the TCP RFC. If an RST packet is received, the port is considered closed, while no response means it is open|filtered.

func WithTCPScanFlags 

func WithTCPScanFlags(flags ...TCPFlag) func(*Scanner)

WithTCPScanFlags sets the scan technique to use custom TCP flags.

func WithTCPXmasScan 

func WithTCPXmasScan() func(*Scanner)

WithTCPXmasScan sets the scan technique to use TCP packets with the FIN, PSH and URG flags set. This scan method can be used to exploit a loophole in the TCP RFC. If an RST packet is received, the port is considered closed, while no response means it is open|filtered.

func WithTargetExclusion 

func WithTargetExclusion(target string) func(*Scanner)

WithTargetExclusion sets the excluded targets of a scanner.

func WithTargetExclusionInput 

func WithTargetExclusionInput(inputFileName string) func(*Scanner)

WithTargetExclusionInput sets the input file name to set the target exclusions.

func WithTargetInput 

func WithTargetInput(inputFileName string) func(*Scanner)

WithTargetInput sets the input file name to set the targets.

func WithTargets 

func WithTargets(targets ...string) func(*Scanner)

func WithTimingTemplate 

func WithTimingTemplate(timing Timing) func(*Scanner)

WithTimingTemplate sets the timing template for nmap.

func WithTraceRoute 

func WithTraceRoute() func(*Scanner)

WithTraceRoute enables the tracing of the hop path to each host.

func WithUDPDiscovery 

func WithUDPDiscovery(ports ...string) func(*Scanner)

WithUDPDiscovery sets the discovery mode to use UDP packets. If the portList argument is empty, this will enable UDP discovery for all ports. Otherwise, it will be only for the specified ports.

func WithUDPScan 

func WithUDPScan() func(*Scanner)

WithUDPScan sets the scan technique to use UDP packets. It can be combined with a TCP scan type such as SYN scan to check both protocols during the same run. UDP scanning is generally slower than TCP, but should not be ignored.

func WithUnprivileged 

func WithUnprivileged() func(*Scanner)

WithUnprivileged makes nmap assume that the user lacks raw socket privileges.

func WithVerbosity 

func WithVerbosity(level int) func(*Scanner)

WithVerbosity sets and increases the verbosity level of nmap.

func WithVersionAll 

func WithVersionAll() func(*Scanner)

WithVersionAll sets the level of intensity with which nmap should probe the open ports to get version information to 9. This will ensure that every single probe is attempted against each port.

func WithVersionIntensity 

func WithVersionIntensity(intensity int16) func(*Scanner)

WithVersionIntensity sets the level of intensity with which nmap should probe the open ports to get version information. Intensity should be a value between 0 (light) and 9 (try all probes). The default value is 7.

func WithVersionLight 

func WithVersionLight() func(*Scanner)

WithVersionLight sets the level of intensity with which nmap should probe the open ports to get version information to 2. This will make version scanning much faster, but slightly less likely to identify services.

func WithVersionTrace 

func WithVersionTrace() func(*Scanner)

WithVersionTrace causes Nmap to print out extensive debugging info about what version scanning is doing. TODO: See how this works along with XML output.

func WithWebXML 

func WithWebXML() func(*Scanner)

WithWebXML makes nmap apply the default nmap.org stylesheet to transform XML output to HTML. The stylesheet can be found at https://nmap.org/svn/docs/nmap.xsl

func WithWindowScan 

func WithWindowScan() func(*Scanner)

WithWindowScan sets the scan technique to use ACK packets over TCP and examining the TCP window field of the RST packets returned. Window scan is exactly the same as ACK scan except that it exploits an implementation detail of certain systems to differentiate open ports from closed ones, rather than always printing unfiltered when a RST is returned.
