pistol-rs

The library must be run as root (Linux) or administrator (Windows), other systems are not supported, and the nightly version of rust is recommended.

Cause the pull request to fix a bug I submitted to the upstream libpnet has not yet been merged into the mainline, so this library cannot be used as crate yet, but you can add this library through git.

[dependencies]
pistol = { git = "https://github.com/rikonaka/pistol-rs.git" }

On Windows, download winpcap here, then place Packet.lib from the x64 folder in your root of code. The other lib like npcap did not test by libpnet.

Host Discovery (Ping Scanning)

I implement pistol host discovery according to the nmap documentation.

[x] ICMP Ping	nmap references	IPv4 & IPv6 support (ICMP, ICMPv6)
[x] ARP Scan	nmap references	IPv4 support
[ ] IP Protocol Ping	nmap references	Complicated and not very useful

OS Detection on IPv6?

On ipv6, the fingerprints are unreadable and meaningless to humans, see here for details, and nmap uses logistic regression to match target OS on ipv6, but the matching algorithm is quite outdated with confusing design logic.

The first is about the ST, RT and EXTRA metrics in fingerprints in detection on ipv6, these three metrics are not used at all in the code, at the same time, there is no detailed description of how ST and RT are calculated, I don't know why nmap would keep them in the final fingerprint.

The second is NI probes. In the relevant document of nmap, it describes the specific structure of NI probe, but I don't see anything about it in the code, and it seems to completely ignore this probe when do predict use logistic regression.

Furthermore, for the current mainstream operating systems, ipv6 fingerprint support is not as rich as ipv4, so try the ipv4 first.

Examples

1. SYN Port Scan Example

use pistol::{tcp_syn_scan, Host, Target};
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use std::time::Duration;
use anyhow::Result;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // When using scanning, please use a real local address to get the return packet.
    // And for flood attacks, please consider using a fake address.
    // If the value here is None, the programme will automatically look up the available addresses from the existing interfaces on the device.
    let src_ipv4 = Some(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 72, 128));
    // If the value of `source port` is `None`, the program will generate the source port randomly.
    let src_port = None;
    // The destination address is required.
    let dst_ipv4 = Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 72, 136);
    let threads_num = 8;
    let timeout = Some(Duration::new(3, 0));
    // Test with an open port `22` and a closed port `99`.
    let host = Host::new(dst_ipv4, Some(vec![22, 99]))?;
    /// Users should build the `target` themselves.
    let target = Target::new(vec![host]);
    let ret = tcp_syn_scan(
        target,
        src_ipv4,
        src_port,
        threads_num,
        timeout,
    ).unwrap();
    for (_ip, r) in ret {
        println!("{}", r);
    }
    Ok(())
}

Output
