Hello there! Labby here to help.

You can run Nmap scripts using the --script option, followed by the script name (or categories of scripts, or a path to a script).

Looking at the current step you're on, we explore how to use Nmap scripts. For example, to run the http-title script, you would use a command like this:

nmap -p 8080 --script=http-title localhost -oN /home/labex/project/script_scan.txt

This command will:

  • Scan port 8080 (-p 8080).
  • Execute the http-title script (--script=http-title), which fetches the title of the web page.
  • Target localhost.
  • Save the output to /home/labex/project/script_scan.txt (-oN).

You can also run multiple scripts by separating them with commas, as shown later in this step:

nmap -p 8080 -sV --script=http-title,http-server-header localhost -oA /home/labex/project/comprehensive_scan

This will run both the http-title and http-server-header scripts.

Feel free to try these commands as instructed in the current step to see how they work! Let me know if you have any other questions.
