Ronin Scanners is a Ruby library for Ronin that provides Ruby interfaces to various third-party security scanners.

Ronin is a Ruby platform for exploit development and security research. Ronin allows for the rapid development and distribution of code, exploits or payloads over many common Source-Code-Management (SCM) systems.

Ronin's Ruby environment allows security researchers to leverage Ruby with ease. The Ruby environment contains a multitude of convenience methods for working with data in Ruby, a Ruby Object Database, a customized Ruby Console and an extendable command-line interface.

Ronin's more specialized features are provided by additional Ronin libraries, which users can choose to install. These libraries can allow one to write and run Exploits and Payloads, scan for PHP vulnerabilities, perform Google Dorks or run 3rd party scanners.

Ronin allows users to publish and share code, exploits, payloads or other data via Overlays. Overlays are directories of code and data that can be hosted on any SVN, Hg, Git or Rsync server. Ronin makes it easy to create, install or update Overlays.

• Provides a Rubyful interface to Nmap.
• Allows for recording of Nmap scan results using ScanDB.
• Provides a Rubyful interface to Nikto.

Start the Ronin console with Ronin Scanners preloaded:

$ ronin-scanners

Calling Nmap from Ruby:

require 'ronin/scanners/nmap'

Scanners::Nmap.scan(:targets => 'www.google.com', :ports => [80,21,25], :service_scan => true)
# Starting Nmap 4.68 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-01-09 16:51 PST
# Interesting ports on mh-in-f99.google.com (209.85.173.99):

require 'ronin/scanners/nikto'

Scanners::Nikto.scan(:host => 'www.example.com')
