Popular node-ipc npm Package Infected with Credential Stealer
Socket detected malicious node-ipc versions with obfuscated stealer/backdoor behavior in a developing npm supply chain attack.
Ports Scanner for NodeJS. Work in progress.
Currently support :
npm install -g sec_scan
var secscan = require('./');
var options = {
target:'127.0.0.1',
port:'21-23',
status:'TROU', // Timeout, Refused, Open, Unreachable
banner:true
};
var scanner = new secscan(options);
scanner.on('result',function(data) {
// fired when item is matching options
console.log(data);
});
scanner.on('error',function(err) {
throw new Error(data.toString());
});
scanner.on('done',function() {
// finished !
});
scanner.run();
Usage: secscan <fqdn|ipv4|cidr> [options] Example:
root@ubuntu:~# secscan 192.168.0.0/24 --port=21-23,80

--port=21,22,23,5900-5902
--reverse display DNS reverse lookup
--reversevalid only display results having a valid reverse dns, except if
ports specified
--geo display geoip (free maxmind)
--banner display banner
--bannerlen set banner length grabing

--bannerraw display raw banner (as a JSON Buffer)
--progress display progress indicator each seconds
--status ports status wanted in results (example --status=OT)
T(timeout)
R(refused)
O(open, default)
U(unreachable)
--scan scan method
tcpconnect (full connect, default)
tcpsyn (half opened, not yet implemented)
udp (not yet implemented)
--concurrency max number of simultaneous socket opened
default 500
--timeout maximum number of milliseconds before closing the connection
default 2000
--display display result format (json,xml,console)
default console
--json shortcut for --display=json
--xml shortcut for --display=xml
--console shortcut for --display=console
--help display help
--about display about
--version display version number

Conncurrency and fast scan
By default, concurrency is 100. Which is slow when you are scanning large ip range or large port range. You can pass a bigger value using --concurrency option. 1000 is fast by example. On some linux, only 1024 opened sockets are allowed in the same time. To break this limit, you have to update ulimit parameter of your linux first :
ulimit -u unlimited
In all cases, you will not be able to scan more than 16580355 ip addr at the moment.
Pause/unpause
You can pause/unpause a running scan by sending SIGUSR2 signal. First time it will pause the process, second time it will unpause it.
kill -SIGUSR2 19859 # where 19859 is the pid of nodejs process running secscan
Do not hesitate to open issues and ask for features. Right now i just need "connect" scan. UDP implementation or syn scans should be great. More and more tests.
If you are using secscan, please star it !
