Re: Last call for smtp-open-relay.nse - help needed

Hi David,

I made the changes necessary in order to make it clearer. Now the
script will handle TIMEOUT, EOF, and ERROR conditions from
receive_lines function and return the message accordingly. Tested
against the same SMTP server and it outputted the following.

25/tcp open  smtp    syn-ack Exim smtpd 4.69
| smtp-open-relay:
|_  ERROR: Failed to issue RSET command (connection closed)

There are some other changes:
+ More information in the script description
* If some combinations were already found before an error, the script
will report them

I also developed a new script that will try to enumerate the users in
a SMTP server using the VRFY or the EXPN command (using the
usernames.lst). If this is found to be useful since it seem that there
aren't many servers that allow those commands.

Patches bellow, regards
Duarte Silva

I decided to retest the script and still got some exceptions and
errors. It seems I was able to fix it and currently the script looks
pretty stable.

Patch bellow, best regards,

Hi,

I made all the changes that you and Fyodor recommended. I also have
made some more improvements,
Changed script output to show all the successful tests
Changed from string concatenation to string formatting
QUIT message before closing connection (as wrote in the SMTP rfc)

Patch in the attachments, best regards,

Okay, thanks! I'm happy with the new changes and I committed your patch.
I now get this output when the server closes the connection:

PORT   STATE SERVICE REASON
25/tcp open  smtp    syn-ack
| smtp-open-relay:
|_  ERROR: Failed to issue RSET command

That's still a little confusing, but it's better than uncontrolled
termination of the script.
