Re: [NSE] New script krb5-enum-users

[Duarte Silva <duarte.silva () serializing me>]

Hi,

after looking at Patrik new kerberos user enumeration script, it got me 
tinkering about the categories of user enumeration scripts. After some 
grep'ing I got the following categories (I may have missed some?).

> domino-enum-users.nse:categories = {"intrusive", "auth"}
> http-userdir-enum.nse:categories = {"discovery", "intrusive"}
> krb5-enum-users.nse:categories = {"auth", "discovery", "safe"}
> mysql-users.nse:categories = {"discovery", "intrusive"}
> ncp-enum-users.nse:categories = {"discovery", "safe"}
> oracle-enum-users.nse:categories = {"intrusive", "auth"}
> sip-enum-users.nse:categories = {"intrusive", "auth"}
> smb-enum-users.nse:categories = {"discovery","intrusive"}
> smtp-enum-users.nse:categories = {"discovery","external","intrusive"}
> snmp-win32-users.nse:categories = {"default", "discovery", "safe"}
> http-wordpress-enum.nse:categories = {"discovery", "auth", "intrusive", 
"vuln"}

Taking into account the NSE categories descriptions [1], with the exception of 
snmp-win32-users.nse and ncp-enum-users.nse, all the scripts should, in my 
opinion, be considered intrusive since they will brute force the user names.

The discovery category would be removed from all of them since we aren't 
"discover(ing) more about the network by querying public registries".

All of them would be in the auth category. Any thoughts? Ideas?
