Here is a new nse script I wrote for setting the password of a NetBus server.
I'm not sure if we should add it to Nmap distributions.
I am trying to set an example for scripts that perform operations on a system. I think the script might be useful to someone who wanted to write action-passwd-ssh.nse, or some other action-<something>-<some protocol>.nse I only picked NetBus because that was the easiest (for me) to get started with. Previously I decided not to write such scripts because I felt their use would be a rare special cases, and the learning curve would be too steep for that. What made me change my mind was, that all parameters for action-netbus-passwd.nse turned out to be optional. You'd also be able to run all action-passwd scripts with a wildcard to secure all systems with weak passwords, so you could learn to use all action-passwd scripts at once.
Does Netbus server even work on modern versions of Windows?
I know it works on modern Linux systems, as they often have the Wine environment installed. To quote David: 'Wow, I tried running NetBus170 on a Fedora VM under WINE, and your right. The "Screendump" button even gets a copy of the whole GNOME desktop.'
