SCANOUTPUT

The output of the scan is placed in output.host files or, when the -O option is used, it is placed in the given output file

SCANOUTPUT EXAMPLE

output.127.0.0.1
output.www.yourdomain.name
or, when -O option is defined, output is placed in the given output file.

EXAMPLES

FTP, MTA and webserver options, CGI and IDA scan

$ hackbot.pl -f -m -w oci localhost

ALL scans

$ hackbot.pl -A localhost

or from a file

$ hackbot.pl -A -F file_with_hosts

or with ranges and output file

$ hackbot.pl -O logfile -A 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.255

or with CIDR's

$ hackbot.pl -A 192.168.1.0/24

or with a higher loglevel

$ hackbot -A -lv 192.168.1.1

GOOGLE SEARCH

The google search is issued with the -A option by default (using google.db), a manual scan can be done this way:

hackbot.pl -g string host

For instance:

$ hackbot.pl -g britney www.geocities.com

Hackbot will search for URL's containing 'britney' on http://www.geocities.com via google.

It could find this for instance:

http://www.geocities.com/britney.html
http://www.geocities.com/~user/britney.txt

etc..
