About

Nmap scripts that aren't merged to upstream. The scripts have prefix (a.e. 0001-), it's a "Pull Request" number.

Usage

1. Copy nse scripts to nmap directory:

for nse in *.nse; do
    cp -n $nse /usr/share/nmap/scripts/${nse#*-}
done

2. Update the database:

sudo nmap --script-updatedb

Use update-scriptdb.sh in case you get the following error:

# Starting Nmap 7.90 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-10-09 18:17 EEST
