Hi nmap-dev, From a conversation in #nmap (on Freenode), a user decided to manually change the user agent in the NSE http library so he wouldn't have to add a script argument for every nmap invocation. I was thinking it would be useful to have an environment variable (maybe NMAP_SCRIPTARGS) that the user could set in their startup scripts so changing the libraries/scripts is no longer necessary. What do you all think?
Here's a simple diff that implements this: <patch> batrick@batbytes:~/nmap/svn/nmap$ svn diff Index: nse_main.lua =================================================================== --- nse_main.lua (revision 17916) +++ nse_main.lua (working copy) @@ -69,6 +69,8 @@ local max = math.max; +local getenv = os.getenv; + local byte = string.byte; local find = string.find; local format = string.format; @@ -759,7 +761,8 @@ end end end - nmap.registry.args = parse_table("{"..args.."}", 1); + nmap.registry.args = setmetatable(parse_table("{"..args.."}", 1), + {__index = parse_table("{"..getenv("NMAP_SCRIPTARGS").."}", 1)}); end -- Load all user chosen scripts </patch> Arguments given on the command line are given precedence over the arguments given in the NMAP_SCRIPTARGS environment variable. -- - Patrick Donnelly _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
