Nsearch is a tool that helps you to find scripts that are used by nmap (nse), you can search the scripts using different keywords as the name, category, and author, even using all the keyword in a single query, it is also possible to see the documentation of the scripts founded.

$ pip install pyyaml python-i18n

Debian(Ubuntu):

# apt-get install unzip libreadline-gplv2-dev build-essential checkinstall unzip 
 sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev -y

REDHAT(CentOS):

# yum -y install bzip2 groupinstall "Development Tools"

Installation:

To install the application is necessary to run as root user the installation script (install.sh), for the time, the script is only for OS based on Debian and based on Red Hat (CentOS). MacOSX or other UNIX it's better to do the installation for each dependency manually.

Automatic Installation:

# sh install.sh

File Configuration
Find the script.db's path, use the command below

$ find /usr -type f -name "script.db" 2>/dev/null | awk 'gsub("script.db","")'

Then create a config.yaml file, on the main path of the script

config:
   scriptsPath: '/usr/local/share/nmap/scripts/'
   filePath: '/usr/local/share/nmap/scripts/script.db'
   fileBackup: 'scriptbk.db'
   scriptdb: 'nmap_scripts.sqlite3'
   categories: {"auth","broadcast","brute","default","discovery","dos","exploit",
   "external","fuzzer","intrusive","malware","safe","version","vuln"}
 

Usage:

$ python nsearch.py
