-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've created a small proof of concept named "nmapbot" that shows it is possible to use instant messaging as a platform for remote command and control of computer systems. Purpose: - -------- To create a semi-intelligent security bot that uses instant messaging as a platform for receiving commands and returning results. Method: - ------- Using Python, the AOL TOC protocol, Bayesian language processing, and nmap 3.70, I hacked together a little bot that can run nmap and ping. Future editions will include additional commands =) The nmapbot rests squarely on the shoulders of python and projects such as Py-AIML, AIMLBayes, GrokItBot, and Reverend. Many thanks to fyodor et al. for the excellent tool suite in nmap 3.70. If you are interested, you can find source code and documentation for nmap bot at: http://www.sharp-ideas.net Cheers, Abe Usher, CISSP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBYiZgT3X9miqOcSQRAnlsAJ93Pd1JnW5gQH0G1AV0n+7jvyEyJgCghxWx pLi5bcjOsiQ/2ev+0qSiA8Q= =+4bV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------For help using this (nmap-hackers) mailing list, send a blank email to nmap-hackers-help () insecure org .
