Ideal for network reconnaissance and analysis, Binoculo efficiently collects service info across multiple ports.\n\n![usage](repo_assets/binoculo_usage.gif)\n\n---\n\n### :rocket: Features\n- **Fast Network Scanning**: Leverage Elixir's concurrent processing for rapid scans across multiple hosts and ports.\n- **Search Engine Integration**: Integrate with Meilisearch to index and query scan results for efficient data retrieval.\n- **Specific Banner Searches**: Perform targeted searches for specific service banners or versions.\n- **HTTP Write**: Send custom commands over HTTP to communicate with services and perform actions.\n\n### Requirements\n- Docker\n- Optional: Elixir installed locally\n\n---\n\n### Quick Start\nRun Binoculo easily with Docker with the `binoculo` shell script. Example:\n\n```bash\n$ ./binoculo -r 192.168.101.1/24 -p 21,22 --output my_result.txt\n```\n\nResults will be saved in output/my_result.txt.\n\n---\n\n### Example Commands\nBasic Usage:\n\n\u003e In addition to saving the results with --output, you can use meilisearch/dashboard to store and visualize the results. ([meilisearch integration](#Meilisearch-Integration))\n\n```bash\nBinoculo: You Know, for Banner Grabbing! Version: 1.2.1\n\nUSAGE:\n    Binoculo --range \u003chost_notation\u003e --port \u003cport(s)\u003e [--output \u003cfile\u003e] [--write \u003cpayload\u003e] [--read \u003ccriteria\u003e]\n```\n\nRange of ports:\n```bash\n$ ./binoculo --range 192.168.101.1/24 --port 21,22,3301\n$ ./binoculo --range 192.168.101.1/24 --port 8080-8082,9000\n```\n\nWrite Custom Payload:\n```bash\n$ ./binoculo --range 192.168.101.1/24 -p 80 --output result.txt -w \"GET / HTTP/1.1\"\n```\n\nSave Only Matching Criteria:\n```bash\n$ ./binoculo --range 192.168.101.1/24 -p 80 --output result.txt -w \"HEAD / HTTP/1.1\" -r \"Apache\"\n```\n\n### Meilisearch Integration\n\n```bash\n$ ./binoculo --dashboard\n```\n\nView results in your browser at `localhost:3000`\n\nThis command launches Meilisearch along with a dashboard where you can view your scan results. The results are displayed in a faceted manner, making it easier to search and filter through the collected data. Faceted search allows you to narrow down your results based on various categories, providing an efficient way to explore your network scans.\n\n![dashboard](repo_assets/dashboard.png)\n\n#### Using Meilisearch Endpoints\n\nIn addition to the dashboard, you can also interact with Meilisearch (`localhost:7700`) directly via its API endpoints to perform searches. The scan results are indexed under the `hosts` index, allowing you to make custom queries and retrieve data without needing to use the dashboard interface. This gives you the flexibility to integrate Binoculo with other systems or tools that can consume the Meilisearch API for advanced searching and filtering.\n\n### Update Binoculo\n\nKeep Binoculo up to date:\n```bash\n$ ./binoculo -u\n```\n\n### Architecture\n![arch](repo_assets/binoculo-arch.png)\n\nThis tool was inspired by the speed and simplicity of pnscan, but built with the power of Elixir to take banner grabbing to the next level!\n\n```\nMIT License\n\nCopyright (c) 2023 Girorme\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy\nof this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal\nin the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights\nto use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell\ncopies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is\nfurnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all\ncopies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR\nIMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,\nFITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
