Scannerl

License: GPL v3 AUR

Scannerl is a modular distributed fingerprinting engine implemented by Kudelski Security. Scannerl can fingerprint thousands of targets on a single host, but can just as easily be distributed across multiple hosts. Scannerl is to fingerprinting what zmap is to port scanning.

Scannerl works on Debian/Ubuntu/Arch (but will probably work on other distributions as well). It uses a master/slave architecture where the master node will distribute the work (host(s) to fingerprint) to its slaves (local or remote). The entire deployment is transparent to the user.

Why use Scannerl

When using conventional fingerprinting tools for large-scale analysis, security researchers will often hit two limitations: first, these tools are typically built for scanning comparatively few hosts at a time and are inappropriate for large ranges of IP addresses. Second, if large range of IP addresses protected by IPS devices are being fingerprinted, the probability of being blacklisted is higher what could lead to an incomplete set of information. Scannerl is designed to circumvent these limitations, not only by providing the ability to fingerprint multiple hosts simultaneously, but also by distributing the load across an arbitrary number of hosts. Scannerl also makes the distribution of these tasks completely transparent, which makes setup and maintenance of large-scale fingerprinting projects trivial; this allows to focus on the analyses rather than the herculean task of managing and distributing fingerprinting processes by hand. In addition to the speed factor, scannerl has been designed to allow to easily set up specific fingerprinting analyses in a few lines of code. Not only is the creation of a fingerprinting cluster easy to set up, but it can be tweaked by adding fine-tuned scans to your fingerprinting campaigns.

It is the fastest tool to perform large scale fingerprinting campaigns.

Installation

See the different installation options under wiki installation page

To install from source, first install Erlang (at least v.18) by choosing the right packaging for your platform: Erlang downloads

Install the required packages:

# on debian
$ sudo apt install erlang erlang-src rebar

# on arch
$ sudo pacman -S erlang-nox rebar

Then build scannerl:

$ git clone https://github.com/kudelskisecurity/scannerl.git
$ cd scannerl
$ ./build.sh

Get the usage by running

$ ./scannerl -h

Scannerl is available on aur for arch linux users

DEBs (Ubuntu, Debian) are available in the releases.

RPMs (Opensuse, Centos, Redhat) are available under https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:chapeaurouge/scannerl.

Distributed setup

Two types of nodes are needed to perform a distributed scan:

The master node needs to have scannerl installed and compiled while the slave node(s) only needs Erlang to be installed. The entire setup is transparent and done automatically by the master node.

Standalone usage

Scannerl can be used on the local host without any other host. However, it will still create a slave node on the same host it is run from. Therefore, the requirements described in Distributed setup must also be met.

A quick way to do this is to make sure your host is able to resolve itself with

grep -q "127.0.1.1\s*`hostname`" /etc/hosts || echo "127.0.1.1 `hostname`" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

and create an SSH key (if not yet present) and add it to the authorized_keys (you need an SSH server running):

cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

The following example runs an HTTP banner grabing on google.com from localhost

./scannerl -m httpbg -d google.com

Distributed usage

In order to perform a distributed scan, one need to pre-setup the hosts that will be used by scannerl to distribute the work. See Distributed setup for more information.

Scannerl expects a list of slaves to use (provided by the -s or -S switches).

./scannerl -m httpbg -d google.com -s host1,host2,host3

List available modules

Scannerl will list the available modules (output modules as well as fingerprinting modules) with the -l switch:

$ ./scannerl -l

Modules arguments

Arguments can be provided to modules with a colon. For example for the file output module:

./scannerl -m httpbg -d google.com -o file:/tmp/result

Result format

The result returned by scannerl to the output modules has the following form:

{module, target, port, result}

Where

The result part is of the form:

{{status, type},Value}

Where {status, type} is one of the following tuples:

Value is the returned value - it is either an atom or a list of element

Extending Scannerl

Scannerl has been designed and implemented with modularity in mind. It is easy to add new modules to it:

To create new modules, simply follow the behavior (fp_module.erl for fingerprinting modules and out_behavior.erl for output module) and implement your modules.

New modules can either be added at compile time or dynamically as an external file.
