Thanks, I added this info to the metasploit book at wikibooks. - Kashif On 4/24/07, H D Moore <hdm at metasploit.com> wrote:
Quick breakdown: run_host() - called with a single IP, with THREADS concurrent threads. The best way to mass-test a range of addresses for a host-specific issue. run_batch() - called with a group of IPs with the size defined by the run_batch_size() method, with THREADS concurrent threads. This means it will process multiple batches at the same time, so don't use this for single-host testing (its useful for a few edge cases basically). run_range() - called *once* for the entire range of hosts. This is useful if you are going to be passing this range to another tool or doing some network-wide test. For example, calling the nmap program. -HD On Tuesday 24 April 2007 12:49, Kashif Iftikhar wrote:Nice work guys on the threading integration into the scanner module :-) I really appreciate and its a nice implementation. The working of run_range is still unclear to me though.
