Re: [NSE scripts documentation] "smbauth" library arguments wrongly

It is listing all parameters implemented by the script itself as well as all parameters implemented by libraries on which the script depends.
As an example, script http-methods.nse depends on http.lua so that is why parameter "http.host" is listed. This library in turn depends on smbauth.lua (for emulating browser NTLM authentication) so parameters like "smbpassword" are listed.

Hi everyone,In the NSE documentation (https://nmap.org/nsedoc/) I have noticed that for several scripts, under the "Script Arguments" section, there are suggested arguments for the "smbauth" (and sometimes "smb") libraries even for scripts that apparently have nothing to do with these.For example: https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/ssl-enum-ciphers.html https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-waf-detect.html https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-methods.html Etc. I think this may confuse some users.I suppose that these pages are automatically generated from script metadata. I could propose a patch but I do not know where to find the code responsible for this.Happy new year! _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
