A multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery Security Assessment Tool
Pholus
A multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery Security Assessment Tool It can perform recconnaisance, Denial of Service, Man in the Middle attacks
Scan passively
Scan passively (for amount of timeout) python pholus3.py eth0 -stimeout 60
Discovery of available services
Sends a DNS query for PTR records with the name "_services._dns-sd._udp.<Domain>"; this yields a set of PTR records where the rdata of each PTR record is the two-label <Service> name plus the same domain, e.g., "_http._tcp.<Domain>". By sending such a query, we can automatically discover all the services advertised in the network.
python pholus3.py eth0 -sscan
#If you want to perform the scan both for IPv4 and IPv6: python pholus3.py eth0 -sscan -4 -6
#You can also spoof the souce address to perform this reconnaissance in a stealthy way. python pholus3.py eth0 -sscan -s4 192.168.2.30
Send mdns request
python pholus3.py eth0 --request
Perform a scan using reverse mDNS by providing a subnet
python pholus3.py eth0 -rdns_scanning 192.168.2.0/24
Send automatically fake responses
python pholus3.py eth0 -afre -stimeout 100
further MiTM (and other) capabilities
use --help to identify specific spoofing capabilities for MiTM purposes, eg -printer)
Read a pcap file and pring mDNS info (no sudo/root required)
python pholus3.py ../mdns_traffic.pcap --readpcap
