Payload Driven Recon Scans And New Module Workflows
This project focuses on enhancing the scanning capabilities of Nettacker by introducing payload-based probing techniques for service detection. By sending protocol-aware probes instead of generic requests, the scanning engine will be able to identify running services more accurately and extract version information where possible, significantly improving reconnaissance capabilities. Overall, the proposed improvements will strengthen Nettacker's ability to perform reconnaissance scan and vulnerability discovery while expanding its coverage of vulnerabilities listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and improving test coverage.
