No, it seems your script was not the cause, my messing around caused it. I think "many connection errors" refers to the application layer [1] and after much testing, I found that your script is closing sockets without issue and that the issue was further into the script. Then after a bit of reading, I found that the script was breaking when the mysql server responded with an error which it does by serving 0xff instead of a protocol byte, followed by a two byte error code and then the error string [2]. It was evident that your code wasn't handling this even though I couldn't tell exactly where it broke. Doesn't really matter though...

I've attached your script, slightly modified to return any mysql error details and which shouldn't cause the above described issue in these circumstances. Hopefully.

While I was testing it with many many random hosts I found that, using version detection, the version always contains "unauthorized" when I get an error code 0x046A (1130 ~ "Host not allowed to connect") from the script output - quite useful cross check I thought - and, given that nmap will have already matched the mysql error, it's maybe worth testing for this straight away (if used with version detection) to avoid running the script. I've included this modded portrule too, but it's not implemented so you can have a play - I imagine the script needs a bit more testing anyway. Next step, supply the script with args for user:pwd and try to return database names...


Great job, man :)

I've attached yet another modified script which I'd like for you to try out if you can.

The changes are pretty obvious I think, but here's the rundown:

Added some comments to the top.

I used a little more object-oriented approach in the portrule involving the extrainfo field, especially since I added another match against it.

I grepped the nmap-service-probes and saw "unauthorized" with a lowercase and uppercase U, so I edited that part. I saw no occurrences of your suggested "unauthorised" in there, so I didn't add that.

I added a check for too many connections, which I saw in the probes file. It should match the different little versions of it from there, though I didn't find a server with that error to test with.

Another change was just for personal preference :) Instead of indenting the rest of the script after the protocol vs. error check, I just return from that if() and the rest was as before. I just think it's too long to warrant the extra indentation.
