Quick Nmap – Host Scanning With Nmap Made Easy

Quick Nmap Scanning Utility Framework

This script provides a basic framework for a quick and easy Nmap scanning utility. Designed for rapid security checkups, it leverages the Zenity tool to create a graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies the process of running common Nmap scans. This script does not require sudo privileges, making it suitable for environments where elevated permissions are restricted. However, it does have a minor bug that affects user interaction with the script descriptions.

• Options Array: Defines a list of common Nmap scan options, each associated with a descriptive label.
• Zenity Dialogs:
  • The zenity --list command presents a GUI list for selecting Nmap options.
  • The zenity --entry command prompts the user to input a URL.
• Command Execution:
  • Constructs the full Nmap command using the selected options and entered URL.
  • Uses eval to execute the constructed Nmap command.
  • Displays the command being executed using another Zenity dialog.

The Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Quick Nmap - K0NxT3D
# Here's The Framework For A Project I Put
# Together For Quick Response Security Checkups.
# BUGS: Clicking The Description Will Process As Command.
# Click The Actual Command In This Example & Then The URL.

# Function to display error message and exit
    show_error() {
    zenity --error --text="$1" --title="Error"
    exit 1
}

# Function to display Nmap options list and prompt for URL
    get_nmap_options() {
# List of Nmap options
    options=(
    "[Ping Remote Host]" " -p 22,113,139" \
    "[Quick scan]" " -F" \
    "[Intense scan, all TCP ports]" " -p 1-65535 -T4 -A -v" \
    "[Scan all TCP ports (SYN scan)]" " -p- -sS -T4 -A -v" \
    "[Scan UDP ports]" " -sU -p 1-65535" \
    "[Full Scan, OS Detection, Version]" " -A" \
    "[Scan All Ports On Host]" " -sT -n -p-" \
    "[Scan with default NSE Scripts]:" " -sC" \
    "[TCP SYN port scan]" " -sS" \
    "[UDP Port Scan]" " -sU" \
    "[Scan For HTTP Vulnerabilities]" " -Pn -sV -p80 --script=vulners" \
    "[Nmap Help]" " -h")

# Display list of options and prompt for selection
    selected_option=$(zenity --list --title="Quick Nmap - K0NxT3D" --column="Options" "${options[@]}" --height 500 --width 500 --text="Select Options:")
        [ -z "$selected_option" ] && show_error "No Option Selected."

# Prompt for URL
    url=$(zenity --entry --title="Enter URL" --text="Enter URL To Scan:")
        [ -z "$url" ] && show_error "URL Not Provided."

# Execute Nmap command
    nmap_command="nmap $selected_option $url"
    echo "Executing Command: $nmap_command"
    zenity --info --text="Executing Nmap command:\n$nmap_command"
    eval "$nmap_command"
}

# Display GUI for Nmap options and URL input
get_nmap_options

Bug Description

• Description Bug: The script’s current implementation has a bug where clicking on a description in the Zenity list triggers an attempt to run the description as a command first. This results in an error message being displayed before the actual Nmap command is executed. While this does not significantly affect the performance or functionality of the script, it is noted as a minor inconvenience.

Advanced Usage

• Enhanced Functionality: Users who are familiar with Nmap can modify and extend this framework to include additional scanning options or integrate more advanced features.
• Proxy and Anonymity: The script is compatible with tools like torsocks and proxychains for executing Nmap scans through proxies, enhancing privacy and bypassing geographical restrictions.

This script serves as a convenient starting point for running common Nmap scans with a user-friendly interface, while also allowing for customization and enhancement based on individual needs.
