Attempts to enumerate valid usernames on web servers running with the mod_userdir module or similar
enabled.
The Apache mod_userdir module allows user-specific directories to be accessed using the
http://example.com/~user/ syntax. This script makes http requests in order to discover valid user-
specific directories and infer valid usernames. By default, the script will use Nmap’s
‘nselib/data/usernames.lst’. An HTTP response status of 200 or 403 means the username is
likely a valid one and the username will be output in the script results along with the status code
(in parentheses).
This script makes an attempt to avoid false positives by requesting a directory which is unlikely to
exist. If the server responds with 200 or 403 then the script will not continue testing it.
SYNTAX:
userdir.users: The filename of a username list.
http.useragent: The value of the User-Agent header field sent with
requests. By default it is
‘‘Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Nmap Scripting Engine; http://nmap.org/book/nse.html)’’.
A value of the empty string disables sending the User-Agent header field.
limit: The maximum number of users to check.
http-max-cache-size: The maximum memory size (in bytes) of the cache.
http.pipeline: If set, it represents the number of HTTP requests that’ll be
pipelined (ie, sent in a single request). This can be set low to make
debugging easier, or it can be set high to test how a server reacts (its
chosen max is ignored).
