Amap Package Description

Amap was the first next-generation scanning tool for pentesters. It attempts to identify applications even if they are running on a different port than normal.
It also identifies non-ascii based applications. This is achieved by sending trigger packets, and looking up the responses in a list of response strings.

Tools included in the amap package

amapcrap – sends random data to a UDP, TCP or SSL’ed port to illicit a response
[email protected]:~# amapcrap
amapcrap v5.4 (c) 2011 by van Hauser/THC <[email protected]>

Syntax: amapcrap [-S] [-u] [-m 0ab] [-M min,max] [-n connects] [-N delay] [-w delay] [-e] [-v] TARGET PORT

Options:
-S use SSL after TCP connect (not usuable with -u)
-u use UDP protocol (default: TCP) (not usable with -c)
-n connects maximum number of connects (default: unlimited)
-N delay delay between connects in ms (default: 0)
-w delay delay before closing the port (default: 250)
-e do NOT stop when a response was made by the server
-v verbose mode
-m 0ab send as random crap:0-nullbytes, a-letters+spaces, b-binary
-M min,max minimum and maximum length of random crap
TARGET PORT target (ip or dns) and port to send random crap

This tool sends random data to a silent port to illicit a response, which can
then be used within amap for future detection. It outputs proper amap
appdefs definitions. Note: by default all modes are activated (0:10%, a:40%,
b:50%). Mode 'a' always sends one line with letters and spaces which end with
\r\n. Visit our homepage at http://www.thc.org

amap – Application MAPper: next-generation scanning tool for pentesters

[email protected]:~# amap
amap v5.4 (c) 2011 by van Hauser <[email protected]> www.thc.org/thc-amap
Syntax: amap [-A|-B|-P|-W] [-1buSRHUdqv] [[-m] -o ] [-D ] [-t/-T sec] [-c cons] [-C retries] [-p proto] [-i ] [target port [port] ...]
Modes:
-A Map applications: send triggers and analyse responses (default)
-B Just grab banners, do not send triggers
-P No banner or application stuff - be a (full connect) port scanner
Options:
-1 Only send triggers to a port until 1st identification. Speeeeed!
-6 Use IPv6 instead of IPv4
-b Print ascii banner of responses
-i FILE Nmap machine readable outputfile to read ports from
-u Ports specified on commandline are UDP (default is TCP)
-R Do NOT identify RPC service
-H Do NOT send application triggers marked as potentially harmful
-U Do NOT dump unrecognised responses (better for scripting)
-d Dump all responses
-v Verbose mode, use twice (or more!) for debug (not recommended :-)
-q Do not report closed ports, and do not print them as unidentified
-o FILE [-m] Write output to file FILE, -m creates machine readable output
-c CONS Amount of parallel connections to make (default 32, max 256)
-C RETRIES Number of reconnects on connect timeouts (see -T) (default 3)
-T SEC Connect timeout on connection attempts in seconds (default 5)
-t SEC Response wait timeout in seconds (default 5)
-p PROTO Only send triggers for this protocol (e.g. ftp)
TARGET PORT The target address and port(s) to scan (additional to -i)
amap is a tool to identify application protocols on target ports.
Note: this version was NOT compiled with SSL support!
Usage hint: Options "-bqv" are recommended, add "-1" for fast/rush checks.
amap Usage Example

Scan port 80 on 192.168.1.15. Display the received banners (b), do not display closed ports (q), and use verbose output (v):

[email protected]:~# amap -bqv 192.168.1.15 80
Using trigger file /etc/amap/appdefs.trig ... loaded 30 triggers
Using response file /etc/amap/appdefs.resp ... loaded 346 responses
Using trigger file /etc/amap/appdefs.rpc ... loaded 450 triggers
