kandi X-RAY | nightcall Summary

nightcall is a Python library typically used in Telecommunications, Media, Advertising, Marketing, Testing, Security Testing applications. nightcall has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However nightcall build file is not available and it has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

Automated enumeration script built to reduce repetitive tasks during large black-box network pentests. Initial host discovery performed by basic throttled masscan, followed by service enumeration of each host, full port if host count less than a preconfigured constant, top port count otherwise. Nmap outputs are then parsed and common tooling queued up for follow up enumeration based on discovered service. All tasks after initial host discovery are multi-processed, with the task count being a configurable constant. While actions and tooling are by no means exhaustive, tooling and configuration are meant to be easily configurable and modifiable to suit testers' needs. Most command configuration strings and wordlist selections are located at the beginning of the script. Nmap NSEs were selected for speed, safety, and usefulness. Nightcall is not meant as a replacement for vulnerability scanning solutions such as Tenable or OpenVAS, merely to fill a gap where manual testing efforts intersect. Additionally, Nightcall is focused more on understanding known IPv4 ranges than discovery of unknown subdomains. CaKinney's domained is a good option for that task.

DAST security scaning of a IoT Nodemcu esp8266 LUA script www HTML server connected to camera and A/C relay

QUESTION

DAST security scaning of a IoT Nodemcu esp8266 LUA script www HTML server connected to camera and A/C relay

Asked 2021-Apr-08 at 01:04

I have not, but shall DAST* security test, out of curiosity, an IoT device; Nodemcu esp8266 www server I built. It's showing a HTML page (on a mobile phone for example) that allows to control and interact with a camera module and a A/C relay. With it I can for example show images captured in the camera I even think it has some image recognition built in, and I can switch on and off a relay for electrical current to a light bulb (110/220v A/C power)

Before I start pentest I though I better start thinking of what types of exploits one would be able to find and detect? Which sinister exploits I will be able to find, or rather ought be able to find given a proper pentest exercise? (And if I do not find exploits, my approach to the pentest of the Iot might be wrong)

I ponder it might be a totally pointless exercise since the esp8266 www server (or rather its LUA programming libraries) might not have any security built into it, so basically it is "open doors" and everything with it is unsafe ?

The test report might just conclude what I can foresee be that the the "user input needs to be sanitized"?

Anyone have any idea what such pentest of a generic IoT device generally reports? Maybe it is possible to crash or reset the IoT device? Buffer overruns, XXS, call own code ?

I might use ZAP or Burpsuite or similar DAST security test tool.

I could of course SAST test it instead, or too, but I think it will be hard to find a static code analyzer for the NodeMCU libraries and NUA scripting language easily ? I found some references here though: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8227299 but it seems to be a long read.

So if someone just have a short answer what to expect in a DAST scan/pentest , it would be much appreciated.

Stay safe and secure out there ! Zombieboy

I do my vulnerability scanning with OpenVAS (I assume this is what you mean by pentesting?). I am not aware of any IOT focused Tools.

If your server is running on esp8266, i would imagine that there is no much room for authentication and encryption of http traffic, but correct me if i am wrong).

Vulnerability Scan results might show things like unencrypted http traffic, credentials transmitted in cleartext (if you have any credentials fields in the pages served by the web server) etc. Depending on if there is encryption, you might also see weak encryption findings.

You might get some false positives on your lua webserver reacting like other known webservers when exploits are applied. I have seen this kind of false positive specially on DoS vulnerabilities when a vulnerability scan is testing a vulnerability and the server becomes unresponsive. Depending on how invasive your vulnerability scanner is, you might get a lot of false positives for DoS on such a constrained platform.

Vulnerabilities

No vulnerabilities reported

Install nightcall

Nightcall was built for use on Kali Linux. While it may function on alternate distros, certain tooling and pathing is assumed available outside setup. Because of the tooling and tasks performed, privileged root access is required. A code review is encouraged. A goal was made to stay as close to out-of-the-box tooling as possible, but as development progressed minor additions were made to address challenges. Future improvements may address this by leveraging pre-installed solutions. For the time being, the following should install prerequisites. Again... a code review is encouraged. Alternatively, prerequisites can be manually prepared.
