How to use nmap with naabu

[hktalent]

I updated the current latest code, build for macOS

sudo ./naabu -nmap -nmap-cli 'sudo /usr/local/bin/nmap -n --unique --resolve-all -Pn -sS --min-hostgroup 64 --max-retries 0 --host-timeout 10m --script-timeout 3m --version-intensity 9 --min-rate 10000 -oX nmap-output.xml -T4 ' -stats -v -sa -o xxx.json -json -rate 5000 -p - -si 5 -host 127.0.0.1

not out :

-oX nmap-output.xml

why?

I try rm nmap:
-n --unique --resolve-all -Pn -sS --min-hostgroup 64 --max-retries 0 --host-timeout 10m --script-timeout 3m --version-intensity 9 --min-rate 10000 -T4

same, nothing

@hktalent please do use GitHub discussion or Discord server for asking questions.

Most probably you mixed, nmap and nmap-cli flags, the below example works fine for me.

echo hackerone.com | sudo naabu -p 80 -nmap-cli 'nmap -n --unique --resolve-all -Pn -sS --min-hostgroup 64 --max-retries 0 --host-timeout 10m --script-timeout 3m --version-intensity 9 --min-rate 10000 -oX nmap-output.xml -T4'

QUITTING!

[hktalent]

ok, i gave up, it may be my environment problem

thanks

[hktalent]

The reason is that even if I sudo naabu, root privileges cannot be passed to nmap
You requested a scan type which requires root privileges.
