Nmap Development: Re: [NSE] pwdump script

Re: [NSE] pwdump script

Hi Ron,
I think it is a good addition to the nmap users arsenal, and as it is
just a NSE script, its usage is optional.
I would add to it pass-the-hash capabilities to authenticate against
the remote system, with a new option (smbhash), such as:

$ ./nmap -d -p139,445 --script=smb-pwdump --script-args=smbhash=<hash> <host>

The <hash> should be on the LM:NTLM format.

Thanks,
