Status Report #3 of 15


Accomplishments

* Had a meeting with Fyodor, the end of which bore a revamped TODO file
with higher priorities for a new 0.2ALPHA release.

* Ncrack now has the capability of interactively printing the credentials
found so far whenever the user presses the 'p' key. It will print the
username/password pairs in a way similar to the one it uses to print the
results when it finishes cracking. For example:

Starting Ncrack 0.01ALPHA ( http://ncrack.org ) at 2010-05-18 05:09 CEST
Stats: 0:00:04 elapsed; 0 services completed (1 total)
Rate: 0.00; Found: 1; About 0.00% done
(press 'p' to list discovered credentials)
Discovered credentials for ssh on 127.0.0.1 22/tcp:
127.0.0.1 22/tcp ssh: testuser 123456

The user above first pressed space (or any other non-assigned key) and the
current stats were printed, along with the line mentioning that he can
press 'p' since credentials were found. If no credentials had been found so
far then that line wouldn't have been printed. Then he pressed 'p'. In
addition, pressing 'p' when no credentials have been found, prints nothing.
Also, when -v (verbose) mode has been specified, Ncrack prints any
credentials found at the time they are discovered.

* Updated manual pages to document the latest version of Ncrack. Entries
for --user, --pass and --resume options as well as a brief mention of the
experimental POP3 support were added.

* Fixed configure-script issue where it was called twice for each of the
libraries on which Ncrack relies. The fix has really sped up installation
speed.

* In verbose mode, Ncrack now tells you when a service has completed
(either with a failure or normally).

* Added some real-life examples at the end of -h output, the way Nmap does it.

* Added the printing of a the list of modules supported by Ncrack for -h
and -V output.

* Fixed bug with -v parsing.

* Fixed one memory leak and improved telnet module to use the new I/O
subsystem.


Priorites

* Continue tackling with the rest of the TODO entries needed for the Ncrack
0.2ALPHA release.
