1.0 - About Narrow Security Scanner

Narrow Security Scanner searches for 189 default vulnerabilities on *YOUR* server! It was programmed on the language Perl. This script should work on all systems that supports Perl 5 or higher! The script was tested on systems: RedHat (4.2, 5.0, 6.0), FreeBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 2.5, Slackware 4.0 and SusE 6.1.

1.1 - Narrow Security Scanner History

I really enjoyed writing NSS. It all started in a very *HOT* summer in June. I wanted to check my little Perl and security skills. Before NSS I was working on NGC - Narrow CGI Check. First version of NSS (Narrow Security Scanner) was released in June only for friends. Then they suggested to make it better. I did it better and better. But I still had some bad nights too :). First version searched only for 12 vulnerabilities. Before I published it I gave a copy of NSS to ".rain.forest.puppy." aka .r.f.p. After some days I got an response from .r.f.p. He recoded it a bit and the script was running better than ever and the size got lesser. Version 2.2 was the first public version of NSS!

2.0 - How to use NSS?

It's very easy to use NSS. To run it just type "perl scanner" in the directory. NOTE: If it is packed, unpack it! :)
NSS usage: perl scanner <host file> <log file>

<host file> - It is a file with hosts to scan. An example host file is attached with the script.
<log file > - File where all results will be recorded.

Before using NSS you need to configure it. Configuration file is "nss.conf". By default the script scans for *ALL* vulnerabilities. NOTE: Enabling all will slow down your Internet connection! But who cares, you will scan your local network, right?


2.1 - How to use Subdomain Generator?

If you have many other subdomains, you can use Subdomain Generator to write them all to a file. It can be used for making a host file. To run this script type: "perl generate". It should work on systems that supports Perl 5 or higher. The script is attached with NSS.
NOTE: Subdomain generator uses the program "host" to get all the subdomains! Windows users can't use it!

Subdomain Generator usage: perl generate <host> <log file>

<host> - Enter your host here, like: host.com (no www before it!)
<log file> - File where all subdomains will be recorded.


2.2 - System Recommended

System....: Any that supports Perl 5 or higher!
Memory....: So many to run an Unix machine.
Free Space: 100 Kb
Connection: 28,800 or higher.


2.3 - Narrow Security Scanner Bugs

1. - If you are logged as root try: "perl scanner /etc/(passwd or shadow) blah.log
2. - If the program "host" cannot connect to the host it will write to the (host) file something like: "Cannot".
