Nmap: Network Exploration and Security Auditing Cookbook - Second Edition

How it works...

The argument --script vuln launches all the NSE scripts under the category vuln. The vuln library reports back several fields, such as name, description, CVE, OSVDB, disclosure date, risk factor, exploitation results, CVSS scores, reference links, and other extra information when a vulnerability is confirmed.

The vuln library was created by Djalal Harouni and Henri Doreau to report and store the vulnerabilities found with Nmap. The information returned by the library helps us generate reports automatically and provides to the users detailed information about the vulnerability.
