Nmap: Network Exploration and Security Auditing Cookbook - Second Edition

How it works...

The arguments -p5984 --script couchdb-stats tell Nmap to launch the NSE script couchdb-stats if a CouchDB HTTP server is running on port 5984.

The script couchdb_stats was submitted by Martin Holst Swende, and it only performs the task of retrieving the runtime statistics of a CouchDB HTTP server. It does so by requesting the URI /_stats/ and parsing the serialized data returned by the server:

{"current":1,"count":50,"mean":14.28,"min":0,"max":114,"stddev":30.40068420282675,"description":"length of a request inside CouchDB without MochiWeb"}
