Re: Sounds like ftp-anon needs work?

It hangs and has to be stopped after several minutes with ^C:

------------------
testcomputer:nmap walts$ sudo ./nmap --script ftp-anon.nse ftp.cyan.com

Starting Nmap 5.30BETA1 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-05-18 17:09 EDT
Warning: File ./nmap-services exists, but Nmap is using /usr/local/share/nmap/nmap-services for security and 
consistency reasons.  set NMAPDIR=. to give priority to files in your local directory (may affect the other data files 
too).

testcomputer:nmap walts$
-----------------------
This is a 64-bit MacBook Pro running 10.6.3 - I have compiled with the 32-bit options per previous posts here:
./configure CFLAGS="-m32" CXXFLAGS="-m32" LDFLAGS="-m32"
but it doesn't seem to help.
FWIW, setting NMAPDIR=. doesn't change anything - the warning message still appears.

Hi Walt, that's a little strange.

I have just checked out the latest version from svn and the scripts
are working well on my mac. What exactly is your problem?

That was my first impression, too from looking at the script.  I was thinking of adding "ftp" and the null string to 
the list of "try"s - don't know if that would work.
The problem I have right now is, the script doesn't run at all on my Mac :-(
I'll have to get a Linux box running later and install nmap on it.

I have an itching suspicion it is because of the username and password
nmap uses vs. metasploit

Nmap:
      try(socket:send("USER anonymous\r\n"))
      try(socket:send("PASS IEUser@\r\n"))

Metasploit:
 OptString.new('FTPUSER', [ false, 'The username to authenticate as',
'anonymous']),
 OptString.new('FTPPASS', [ false, 'The password for the specified
username', 'mozilla () example com'])

But I don't know of an ftp server to test against that nmap doesn't
get a response from, but metasploit does.

cheers,
 kx

Absolutely! I do my best to answer scripting questions here or in #nmap on freenode whenever I can.

(If you do ask in #nmap on Freenode, make sure you stick around for the answer :) ).

This looks interesting.   I'll give it a try, but I'm a total N00B at
Nmap Scripting and I'm likely to have to ask a lot of questions.  OK?

Metasploit found about twice as many anonymous FTP servers than
Nmap's ftp-anon.nse script. Metasploit also says whether it's read
or read/write.

Improving ftp-anon.nse might be a good task for somebody who's
looking to learn Nmap scripting a little. It's going to be more
troubleshooting than coding, likely.

Any takers?
