description = [[ Attempts to enumerate the users on a SMTP server by issuing the VRFY, EXPN or RCPT TO commands. The goal of this script is to discover all the user accounts in the remote system. The script will output the list of user names that were found. The script will stop querying the SMTP server if authentication is enforced. If an error occurrs while testing the target host, the error will be printed with the list of any combinations that were found prior to the error. The user can specify which methods to use and in which order. The script will ignore repeated methods. If not specified the script will use the RCPT first, then VRFY and EXPN. An example of how to specify the methods to use and the order is the following: smtp-enum-users.methods={EXPN,RCPT,VRFY} ]] --- -- @usage -- nmap --script smtp-enum-users.nse [--script-args smtp-enum-users.methods={EXPN,...},...] -p 25,465,587 -- -- @output -- Host script results: -- | smtp-enum-users: -- |_ RCPT, root -- -- @args smtp-enum-users.domain Define the domain to be used in the SMTP commands -- @args smtp-enum-users.methods Define the methods and order to be used by the script (EXPN, VRFY, RCPT) -- changelog -- 2010-03-07 Duarte Silva -- * First version ;) -- 2010-03-14 Duarte Silva -- * Credits to David Fifield and Ron Bowes for the following changes -- * Changed the way the user defines which method is used -- + Script now handles 252 and 550 SMTP status codes -- + Added the method that was used by the script to discover the users if verbosity is -- enabled ----------------------------------------------------------------------- author = "Duarte Silva " license = "Same as Nmap--See http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html" categories = {"discovery","external","intrusive"} require "shortport" require "comm" require "unpwdb" portrule = shortport.port_or_service({ 25, 465, 587 }, { "smtp", "smtps", "submission" }) ERROR_MESSAGES = { ["EOF"] = "connection closed", ["TIMEOUT"] = "connection timeout", ["ERROR"] = "failed to receive data" } STATUS_CODES = { ERROR = 1, NOTPERMITTED = 2, VALID = 3, INVALID = 4, UNKNOWN = 5 } ---Counts the number of occurrences in a table.
