Saving scan results to a SQLite database
Developers store information in SQL databases because it is convenient for handling and extracting information with flexible SQL queries. However, Nmap does not support storing results in SQL databases. PBNJ is a set of tools for network monitoring that uses Nmap to detect hosts, ports, and services.
The following recipe will show you how to store scan results in SQLite and MySQL databases.
Getting ready
PBNJ is a set of tools designed to monitor network integrity written by Joshua D. Abraham. If you are running a Debian-based system, you can install it with the following commands:
#cpan -i Shell #apt-get install pbnj
To learn the requirements of and how to install PBNJ on other systems that support Perl, go to http://pbnj.sourceforge.net/docs.html.
How to do it...
Run scanpbnj and use the -a option to set your Nmap arguments:
#scanpbnj -a <Nmap arguments> <target>
