Hi, Fyodor and I had a meeting today and we came up with new names for most of the scripts that come with Nmap. This was to improve script output now that scripts are identified by file name, and also to make the names more consistent. These are the principles we used in choosing new names: Short names are better than long names if there is no loss in meaning. Names should be easy to type and remember, but more importantly must give useful information in output. Lowercase names are preferred. The names of scripts that deal with one protocol start with the name of the protocol; that's why brutePOP3 became pop3-brute and anonFTP became ftp-anon. The names are open for discussion if there are any you'd like to see changed. anonFTP => ftp-anon ASN => asn-query brutePOP3 => pop3-brute bruteTelnet => telnet-brute daytimeTest => daytime dns-safe-recursion-port => dns-random-srcport dns-safe-recursion-txid => dns-random-txid dns-test-open-recursion => dns-recursion ftpbounce => ftp-bounce HTTPAuth => http-auth HTTP_open_proxy => http-open-proxy HTTPpasswd => http-passwd HTTPtrace => http-trace iax2Detect => iax2-version ircServerInfo => irc-info ircZombieTest => irc-zombie MSSQLm => ms-sql-info MySQLinfo => mysql-info popcapa => pop3-capabilities PPTPversion => pptp-version promiscuous => sniffer-detect RealVNC_auth_bypass => realvnc-auth-bypass robots => robots.txt showHTMLTitle => html-title showOwner => identd-owners skype_v2-version => skypev2-version smb-enumdomains => smb-enum-domains smb-enumsessions => smb-enum-sessions smb-enumshares => smb-enum-shares smb-enumusers => smb-enum-users smb-serverstats => smb-server-stats smb-systeminfo => smb-system-info SMTPcommands => smtp-commands SMTP_openrelay_test => smtp-open-relay SNMPcommunitybrute => snmp-brute SNMPsysdescr => snmp-sysdescr SQLInject => sql-injection SSH-hostkey => ssh-hostkey SSHv1-support => sshv1 SSLv2-support => sslv2 strangeSMTPport => smtp-strangeport UPnP-info => upnp-info xamppDefaultPass => xampp-default-auth zoneTrans => zone-transfer David Fifield _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
