How To Hack MySQL Using NMAP Scripts | Metasploitable 2

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a powerful open-source tool used for network exploration and security auditing. Nmap scripts, also known as NSE (Nmap Scripting Engine) scripts, extend Nmap's capabilities by allowing you to automate various tasks and perform more sophisticated scans. NSE scripts can be used for vulnerability detection, service enumeration, banner grabbing, and much more.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Nmap scripts:

Install Nmap:

Update Nmap Scripts:
Nmap scripts are frequently updated, so it's a good idea to update them to the latest version. You can use the following command to update Nmap and its scripts:

nmap --script-updatedb

Discover Available Scripts:
To see the list of available Nmap scripts, you can use the following command:

nmap --script-help

Run Nmap with a Script:
To use a specific Nmap script during a scan, you can use the --script option followed by the script name. For example, to use the script for HTTP enumeration:

nmap -p 80 --script http-enum target

Replace target with the target IP address or hostname.

Use Script Categories:
Nmap scripts are categorized based on their functionality. You can use script categories to run a group of related scripts. For example, to run all HTTP-related scripts, you can use the following command:

nmap -p 80 --script "http-*" target

Use Script Arguments:
Some Nmap scripts have optional arguments that you can customize. You can pass these arguments using the --script-args option. For example:

nmap -p 443 --script ssl-cert --script-args "ssl-enum-ciphers,ssl-ccs-injection" target

Scan Multiple Ports or Hosts:

Nmap can scan multiple ports or hosts simultaneously. Here's an example of scanning multiple ports and using a specific script:

nmap -p 80,443 --script http-enum target

Save Output to a File:

To save the Nmap scan results to a file, you can use the -oN option followed by the desired filename:

The output file will be saved in Nmap's normal output format.

Remember that Nmap can be a powerful tool and can generate a significant amount of traffic. Always ensure you have the necessary permissions before scanning a network, as unauthorized scanning can be considered illegal and unethical. It's essential to use Nmap responsibly and with the consent of the network owner.

My scripts do not work against my target host. I even tried the 'all' option to run all the scripts against the IP but to no avail. I eventually resorted to Metasploit.

The command --script=mysql-brute is not bringing out any account on the metasploitable IP address
