# Onvifscan - ONVIF Security Scanner

You are helping the user scan ONVIF devices for security issues including authentication bypasses and weak credentials using the onvifscan tool.

## Tool Overview

Onvifscan is an ONVIF device security scanner that can:
- Test for unauthenticated access to ONVIF endpoints
- Perform credential brute-forcing attacks

## Instructions

When the user asks to scan ONVIF devices, test IP cameras, or assess IoT device security:

1. **Determine scan type**:
   - `auth`: Authentication and access control testing (recommended to start)
   - `brute`: Credential brute-forcing on password-protected endpoints

2. **Get target information**:
   - Ask for the device URL/IP
   - Determine which scan type to run
   - Check if they have custom wordlists

3. **Execute the scan**:
   - Use the onvifscan command from the iothackbot bin directory
   - Format: `onvifscan <subcommand> <url> [options]`

## Subcommands

### Auth Scan
Tests ONVIF endpoints for authentication requirements:
```bash
onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100
```

Options:
- `-v, --verbose`: Show full XML responses
- `-a, --all`: Test ALL endpoints including potentially destructive ones
- `--format text|json|quiet`: Output format

### Brute Force
Attempts credential brute-forcing on protected endpoints:
```bash
onvifscan brute http://192.168.1.100
```

Options:
- `--usernames <file>`: Custom usernames wordlist (default: built-in onvif-usernames.txt)
- `--passwords <file>`: Custom passwords wordlist (default: built-in onvif-passwords.txt)
- `--format text|json|quiet`: Output format

## Examples

Quick auth check on a device:
```bash
onvifscan auth 192.168.1.100
```

Auth check with verbose output:
```bash
onvifscan auth http://192.168.1.100:8080 -v
```

Brute force with custom wordlists:
```bash
onvifscan brute 192.168.1.100 --usernames custom-users.txt --passwords custom-pass.txt
```

## Important Notes

- URLs can omit `http://` - it will be added automatically
- Auth scan is non-destructive and safe to run
- Use `-a` flag with caution - may test destructive endpoints
- Brute force is rate-limited to prevent device overload (max 20 attempts by default)
- Built-in wordlists located in `wordlists/` directory
