Basic Usage

Default Port Scan

To scan the default 1000 ports on a target, simply specify the target

nrev --target scanme.nmap.org

Sub-commands and Options

Usage: nrev [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

Commands:
  port        Scan port. nrev port --help for more information
  host        Scan host in specified network or host-list. nrev host --help for more information
  ping        Ping to specified host. nrev ping --help for more information
  trace       Traceroute to specified host. nrev trace --help for more information
  subdomain   Find subdomains. nrev subdomain --help for more information
  nei         Resolve IP address to MAC address
  interfaces  Show network interfaces
  interface   Show default network interface
  check       Check dependencies (Windows only)
  help        Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -t, --target <target>             Specify the target host. IP address or Hostname
  -i, --interface <interface_name>  Specify the network interface
      --noping                      Disable initial ping
  -F, --full                        Scan all ports (1-65535)
  -j, --json                        Displays results in JSON format.
  -o, --save <file_path>            Save scan result in JSON format - Example: -o result.json
  -h, --help                        Print help
  -V, --version                     Print version

Examples

Port scan

Scan default 1000 ports

nrev port scanme.nmap.org

Specify the ports

nrev port scanme.nmap.org --ports 22,80,443,5000,8080

Specify the range

nrev port scanme.nmap.org --range 20-100

Scan well-known ports

nrev port scanme.nmap.org --wellknown

Settings

By default, nrev determines the waiting time until packet reception (before concluding the scan task) based on the results of the initial PING.
The initial PING is executed in the order of ICMP Ping, UDP Ping, TCP Ping (on port 80), and if successful, proceeds to the next scan task.
If all PING attempts fail, nrev exits before executing the scan. This step can be skipped by setting the --noping flag.
For other settings, please refer to nrev port -h for details.

Host scan

ICMP Host scan

nrev host 192.168.1.0/24
nrev host <path-to-host-list>

TCP Host scan

nrev host 192.168.1.0/24 -P TCP --port 80

Ping

Default ICMP Ping

nrev ping 1.1.1.1

UDP Ping

nrev ping 1.1.1.1 -P UDP

TCP Ping

nrev ping 1.1.1.1:443 -P TCP

Traceroute

TCP Ping

nrev trace 8.8.8.8

You can specify the interval in milliseconds for faster trace.

nrev trace 8.8.8.8 --rate 500

Subdomain scan

nrev subdomain google.com

Neighbor (ARP/NDP)

nrev nei 192.168.1.1

Specify the network interface

nrev -i tun0 port 10.10.11.14

Privileges

nrev uses a raw socket which require elevated privileges. Execute with administrator privileges.

Note for Linux Users

nrev requires elevated privileges to send/receive raw-packet. On Linux, you can configure these privileges using two main methods:

1. Using setcap

Granting capabilities to the nrev binary allows it to operate with the necessary privileges without requiring sudo for each execution.
This method is recommended for single-user machines or in environments where all users are trusted.

Assign necessary capabilities to the nrev binary

sudo setcap 'cap_sys_ptrace,cap_dac_read_search,cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+ep' $(command -v nrev)

Run nrev as an unprivileged user:

nrev

Capabilities Explained:

  • cap_sys_ptrace,cap_dac_read_search: Allows nrev to access /proc/<pid>/fd/ to identify which open port belongs to which process.
  • cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin: Enables packet capturing capabilities.

2. Using sudo (for multi-user environments)

For environments with multiple users, requiring privilege escalation each time nrev is run can enhance security.

sudo nrev

Note for macOS Users

On macOS, managing access to the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) devices is necessary for nrev to send/receive raw-packet Alternatively, of course, you can also use sudo to temporarily grant the necessary permissions.

Install chmod-bpf to automatically manage permissions for BPF devices:

Install prebuilt binaries via shell script

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/shellrow/chmod-bpf/releases/latest/download/chmod-bpf-installer.sh | sh

Install prebuilt binaries via Homebrew

brew install shellrow/tap-chmod-bpf/chmod-bpf

Check BPF device permissions

chmod-bpf check

Install the chmod-bpf daemon to automatically manage BPF device permissions

sudo chmod-bpf install

Note for Windows Users

  • Ensure that you have Npcap installed, which is necessary for nrev to send/receive raw-packet on Windows
  • Download and install Npcap from Npcap. Choose the "Install Npcap in WinPcap API-compatible Mode" during installation.
  • Build Dependencies:
    • Place the Packet.lib file from the Npcap SDK or WinPcap Developers pack in a directory named lib at the root of this repository.
    • You can use any of the locations listed in the %LIB% or $Env:LIB environment variables.
    • For the 64-bit toolchain, the Packet.lib is located in /Lib/x64/Packet.lib.
    • For the 32-bit toolchain, the Packet.lib is located in /Lib/Packet.lib.
