The NSE Script plugin integrates with Criminal IP CTI search engine for network scanning, showing IP details like WHOIS, running products, versions, CVEs, etc.
Criminal IP is a comprehensive OSINT-based Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) providing exclusive threat information on all cyber assets. Using AI machine learning technology, it monitors open ports of IP addresses worldwide through a 24/7 scanning process and provides reports with a 5-level risk score.
The NSE Script plugin integrated with the Criminal IP CTI search engine provides network scanning capabilities to display general information about IP addresses, including WHOIS data, running products and versions, CVE details, and more.
This plugin utilizes Port scan information from Criminal IP v1/asset/ip/report to gather information about the IP you want to scan, including WHOIS data and details about open ports. For more details, please visit: https://www.criminalip.io/developer/api/get-asset-ip-report.
Below are the output data that you can obtain
- Hostname
- Tag
- Purpose of IP usage such as VPN, Scanner, Hosting, Mobile, etc.
- Category
- Nature of the IP such as MISP, Phishing, Snort, Twitter, reputation, etc.
- Country(City)
- IP Score(Inbound/Outbound)
- Safe, Low, Moderate, Dangerous, Critical
- Open port (within the last 30 days)
- Socket type
- TCP, UDP
- Scan Time
- Date when the port was scanned
- Product
- Service (product) name being used on the port
- Version
- Product version
- CVE
- Vulnerabilities associated with the port (latest Top 5)
Before using the script, it is recommended to install the latest version of Nmap.
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install nmap
You need a Criminal IP API key. You can register for a free account at Criminal IP and find your API key on the My Information page.
Copy the criminalip-api.nse script to your Nmap Script folder.
$ git clone https://github.com/criminalip/CIP-Nse-Script.git
$ cp criminalip-api.nse NMAP_Script_HOME(ex: /usr/share/nmap/scripts/)
You can optionally pre-set the API key in the script to avoid entering the API key every time.
-- Set your Criminal IP API key here to avoid typing it in every time:
local apiKey = '${CRIMINALIP_API_KEY}'
$ nmap --script criminalip-api --script-args 'criminalip-api.target= target IP, apikey=Your x-api-key'
$ nmap --script criminalip-api --script-args 'criminalip-api.target= target IP' # when you set your api-key on script
