Divide Et Impera And Scan (and also merge the scan results)

Featured Projects

NixOS	offsec.tools

---

DivideAndScan is used to efficiently automate port scanning routine by splitting it into 3 phases:

1. Discover open ports for a bunch of targets.
2. Run Nmap individually for each target with version grabbing and NSE actions.
3. Merge the results into a single Nmap report (different formats available).

For the 1st phase a fast port scanner* is intended to be used, whose output is parsed and stored in a single file database (TinyDB). Next, during the 2nd phase individual Nmap scans are launched for each target with its set of open ports (multiprocessing is supported) according to the database data. Finally, in the 3rd phase separate Nmap outputs are merged into a single report in different formats (XML / HTML / simple text / grepable) with nMap_Merger. The visualization portion is provided by DrawNmap.

Potential use cases:

• Pentest engagements / red teaming with a large scope to enumerate.
• Cybersecurity wargames / training CTF labs.
• OSCP certification exam.

* Available port scanners:

• Nmap
• Masscan
• RustScan
• Naabu
• NimScan
• sx

How It Works

How to Install

Prerequisites

To successfully divide and scan we need to get some good port scanning tools (in the examples below GitHub releases are grabbed via eget).

📑 Note: if you don't feel like messing with dependecies on your host OS, skip to the Docker part.

Nmap

sudo apt install nmap xsltproc -y
sudo nmap --script-updatedb

Masscan

pushd /tmp
wget https://github.com/ivre/masscan/archive/refs/heads/master.zip -O masscan-master.zip
unzip masscan-master.zip
cd masscan-master
make
sudo make install
popd && rm -rf /tmp/masscan-master*

RustScan

eget -t 2.0.1 -a amd64 RustScan/RustScan --to /tmp/rustscan.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/rustscan.deb && rm /tmp/rustscan.deb
sudo wget https://gist.github.com/snovvcrash/8b85b900bd928493cd1ae33b2df318d8/raw/fe8628396616c4bf7a3e25f2c9d1acc2f36af0c0/rustscan-ports-top1000.toml -O /root/.rustscan.toml

Naabu

sudo mkdir /opt/naabu
sudo eget -s linux/amd64 projectdiscovery/naabu --to /opt/naabu
sudo ln -sv /opt/naabu/naabu /usr/local/bin/naabu

NimScan

sudo mkdir /opt/nimscan
sudo eget -a NimScan elddy/NimScan --to /opt/nimscan
sudo ln -sv /opt/nimscan/nimscan /usr/local/bin/nimscan

sx

sudo mkdir /opt/sx
sudo eget -s linux/amd64 v-byte-cpu/sx --to /opt/sx
sudo ln -sv /opt/sx/sx /usr/local/bin/sx

dnsx

sudo mkdir /opt/pd
sudo eget -s linux/amd64 projectdiscovery/dnsx --to /opt/pd
sudo ln -sv /opt/pd/dnsx /usr/local/bin/dnsx

Installation

DivideAndScan is available on PyPI as divideandscan, though I recommend installing it from GitHub with pipx in order to always have the bleeding-edge version:

~$ pipx install -f "git+https://github.com/snovvcrash/DivideAndScan.git"
~$ das

There's also a release packed with shiv (large file size though):

# shiv -e das.divideandscan:main -o das.pyz divideandscan
~$ wget https://github.com/snovvcrash/DivideAndScan/releases/latest/download/das.pyz && chmod +x das.pyz
~$ ./das.pyz

For debbugging purposes you can set up a dev environment with poetry:

~$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/snovvcrash/DivideAndScan
~$ cd DivideAndScan
~$ poetry install
~$ poetry run das

📑 Note: DivideAndScan uses sudo to run all the port scanners, so it will ask for the password when scanning commands are invoked.

Using from Docker

You can run DivideAndScan in a Docker container as follows:

~$ docker run --rm -it --name das -v ~/.das:/root/.das -v `pwd`:/app -p 8050:8050 snovvcrash/divideandscan

Since the tool requires some input data and produces some output data, you should specify your current working directory as the mount point at /app within the container. Also publishing port 8050 on host allows to access the Dash app used for Nmap reports visualization.

You may want to set an alias to make the base command shorter:

~$ alias das='docker run --rm -it --name das -v ~/.das:/root/.das -v `pwd`:/app -p 8050:8050 snovvcrash/divideandscan'
~$ das

How to Use

1. Filling the DB

Provide the add module a command for a fast port scanner to discover open ports in a desired range. ⚠️ Warning: please, make sure that you understand what you're doing, because nearly all port scanning tools can damage the system being tested if used improperly. # Nmap, -v flag is always required for correct parsing! ~$ das add nmap '-v -n -Pn -e eth0 --min-rate 1000 -T4 -iL hosts.txt -p1-65535 --open' # Masscan ~$ das add masscan '--rate 1000 -iL hosts.txt -p1-65535 --open' # RustScan ~$ das add rustscan '-b 1000 -t 2000 -u 5000 -a hosts.txt -r 1-65535 -g --no-config' # Naabu ~$ das add naabu '-rate 1000 -iL hosts.txt -p - -silent -s s' # NimScan ~$ das add nimscan '192.168.1.0/24 -vi -p:1-65535 -f:500' # sx ~$ sudo sx arp -i eth0 192.168.1.0/24 --json | tee arp.cache ~$ das add sx 'tcp syn -a arp.cache -i eth0 --rate 1000/s 192.168.1.0/24 -p 445,3389' When the module starts its work, a directory ~/.das/db is created where the database file and raw scan results will be put when the module routine finishes.

2. Targeted Scanning

Launch targeted Nmap scans with the scan module. You can adjust the scan surface with either -hosts or -ports option: # Scan by hosts ~$ das scan -hosts all -oA report1 ~$ das scan -hosts 192.168.1.0/24,10.10.13.37 -oA report1 ~$ das scan -hosts hosts.txt -oA report1 # Scan by ports ~$ das scan -ports all -oA report2 ~$ das scan -ports 22,80,443,445 -oA report2 ~$ das scan -ports ports.txt -oA report2 To start Nmap simultaneously in multiple processes, specify the -parallel switch and set number of workers with the -proc option (if no value is provided, it will default to the number of processors on the machine): ~$ das scan -hosts all -oA report -parallel [-proc 4] The output format is selected with -oX, -oN, -oG and -oA options for XML+HTML formats, simple text format, grepable format and all formats respectively. When the module completes its work, a directory ~/.das/nmap_<DB_NAME> is created containig Nmap raw scan reports. Also, you can inspect the contents of the database with -show option before actually launching the scans: ~$ das scan -hosts all -show

3 (Optional). Merging the Reports

In order to generate a report independently of the scan module, you should use the report module. It will search for Nmap raw scan reports in the ~/.das/nmap_<DB_NAME> directory and process and merge them based on either -hosts or -ports option: # Merge outputs by hosts ~$ das report -hosts all -oA report1 ~$ das report -hosts 192.168.1.0/24,10.10.13.37 -oA report1 ~$ das report -hosts hosts.txt -oA report1 # Merge outputs by ports ~$ das report -ports all -oA report2 ~$ das report -ports 22,80,443,445 -oA report2 ~$ das report -ports ports.txt -oA report2 📑 Note: keep in mind that the report module does not search the DB when processing the -hosts or -ports options, but looks for Nmap raw reports directly in ~/.das/nmap_<DB_NAME> directory instead; it means that -hosts 127.0.0.1 argument value will be successfully resolved only if ~/.das/nmap_<DB_NAME>/127-0-0-1.* files exist, and -ports 80 argument value will be successfully resolved only if ~/.das/nmap_<DB_NAME>/port80.* files exist.

🔥 Example 🔥

Let's enumerate open ports for all live machines on Hack The Box.

1. Add mappings "host ⇄ open ports" to the database with Masscan. For demonstration purposes I will exclude dynamic port range to avoid unnecessary stuff by using -p1-49151. On the second screenshot I'm reviewing scan results by hosts and by ports:

~$ das -db htb add -rm masscan '-e tun0 --rate 1000 -iL hosts.txt -p1-49151 --open'

~$ das -db htb scan -hosts all -show
~$ das -db htb scan -ports all -show

2. Launch Nmap processes for each target to enumerate only ports that we're interested in (the open ports). On the second screenshot I'm doing the same but starting Nmap processes simultaneously:

~$ das -db htb scan -hosts all -oA report

~$ das -db htb scan -hosts all -oA report -nmap '-Pn -sVC -O' -parallel

3. As a result we now have a single report in all familiar Nmap formats (simple text, grepable, XML) as well as a pretty HTML report.

Bring Your Own Scanner!

You can pair your favourite port scanner with DivideAndScan by implementing a single parse method for its output in das/parsers/DUMMY_SCANNER.py (see example for masscan):

from das.parsers import IAddPortscanOutput


class AddPortscanOutput(IAddPortscanOutput):
    """Child class for processing DUMMY_SCANNER output."""

    def parse(self):
        """
        DUMMY_SCANNER raw output parser.

        :return: a pair of values (portscan raw output filename, number of hosts added to DB)
        :rtype: tuple
        """
        hosts = set()
        for line in self.portscan_raw:
            # DUMMY_SCANNER parser implementation
            pass

        return (self.portscan_out, len(hosts))
