SaltwaterTaffy
SaltwaterTaffy is an nmap wrapper library for .NET, which aims to provide a simple interface for host discovery, firewall detection, and port scanning. This library was partially inspired by nmap4j.
Dependencies
SaltwaterTaffy utilizes DotNMap to parse nmap's XML output format. A DLL is provided in lib.
Usage & Examples
Using the library is (hopefully) fairly simple. A demo project is included in SaltwaterTaffy.Demo, and some examples are provided below.
Host discovery
Host discovery will yield a collection of Host objects, each containing information about the discovered host.
using SaltwaterTaffy;
using SaltwaterTaffy.Container;
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var target = new Target("192.168.0.0/24");
var result = new Scanner(target).HostDiscovery();
// do something with the result
}
}Port scan (TCP SYN scan)
using SaltwaterTaffy;
using SaltwaterTaffy.Container;
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var target = new Target("192.168.1.101");
var result = new Scanner(target).PortScan(ScanType.Syn);
// do something with the result
}
}A more advanced scan
using SaltwaterTaffy;
using SaltwaterTaffy.Container;
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
// target can be a string, an IPAddress or an IEnumerable of either
var target = new Target("192.168.1.0/24");
var scanner = new Scanner(target);
// multiple calls to scanner will always exclude this host
scanner.PersistentOptions = new NmapOptions {
{NmapFlag.ExcludeHosts, "192.168.0.12"}
};
var result = scanner.HostDiscovery();
// do something with the result
}
}
