NAME
ndiff - Utility to compare the results of Nmap scansSYNOPSIS
- ndiff [options] {a.xml} {b.xml}
DESCRIPTION
- Ndiff is a tool to aid in the comparison of Nmap scans. It takes two Nmap XML output files and prints the differences between them. The differences observed are:
- * Host states (e.g. up to down)
- * Port states (e.g. open to closed)
- * Service versions (from -sV)
- * OS matches (from -O)
- * Script output
Ndiff, like the standard diff utility, compares two scans at a time.
OPTIONS SUMMARY
-h, --help
- Show a help message and exit.
-v, --verbose
- Include all hosts and ports in the output, not only those that have changed.
--text
- Write output in human-readable text format.
--xml
- Write output in machine-readable XML format. The document structure is defined in the file ndiff.dtd included in the distribution.
Any other arguments are taken to be the names of Nmap XML output files. There must be exactly two.
EXAMPLE
Let's use Ndiff to compare the output of two Nmap scans that use different options. In the first, we'll do a fast scan (-F), which scans fewer ports for speed. In the second, we'll scan the larger default set of ports, and run an NSE script.
-
# nmap -F scanme.nmap.org -oX scanme-1.xml # nmap --script=html-title scanme.nmap.org -oX scanme-2.xml $ ndiff -v scanme-1.xml scanme-2.xml -Nmap 4.90RC2 at 2009-07-16 13:29 +Nmap 4.90RC2 at 2009-07-16 13:33 scanme.nmap.org (64.13.134.52): Host is up. -Not shown: 95 filtered ports +Not shown: 993 filtered ports PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp closed smtp 53/tcp open domain +70/tcp closed gopher 80/tcp open http +|_ html-title: Go ahead and ScanMe! 113/tcp closed auth +31337/tcp closed Elite
Changes are marked by a - or + at the beginning of a line. We can see from the output that the scan without the -F fast scan option found two additional ports: 70 and 31337. The html-title.nse script produced some additional output for port 80. From the port counts, we may infer that the fast scan scanned 100 ports (95 filtered, 3 open, and 2 closed), while the normal scan scanned 1000 (993 filtered, 3 open, and 4 closed).
The -v (or --verbose) option to Ndiff made it show even the ports that didn't change, like 22 and 25. Without -v, they would not have been shown.
OUTPUT
There are two output modes: text and XML. Text output is the default, and is also selected with the --text option. Text output resembles a unified diff of Nmap's normal terminal output. Each line is preceded by a character indicating whether and how it changed. - means that the line was in the first scan but not in the second; + means it was in the second but not the first. A line that changed is represented by a - line followed by a + line. Lines that did not change are preceded by a blank space.
Example 1, lqNdiff text outputrq is an example of text output. Here, port 80 on the host photos-cache-snc1.facebook.com gained a service version (lighttpd 1.5.0). The host at 69.63.179.25 changed its reverse DNS name. The host at 69.63.184.145 was completely absent in the first scan but came up in the second.

XML output, intended to be processed by other programs, is selected with the --xml option. It is based on Nmap's XML output, with a few additional elements to indicate differences. The XML document is enclosed in nmapdiff and scandiff elements. Host differences are enclosed in hostdiff tags and port differences are enclosed in portdiff tags. Inside a hostdiff or portdiff, a and b tags show the state of the host or port in the first scan (a) or the second scan (b).
Example 2, lqNdiff XML outputrq shows the XML diff of the same scans shown above in Example 1. Notice how port 80 of photos-cache-snc1.facebook.com is enclosed in portdiff tags. For 69.63.179.25, the old hostname is in a tags and the new is in b. For the new host 69.63.184.145, there is a b in the hostdiff without a corresponding a, indicating that there was no information for the host in the first scan.

PERIODIC DIFFS
Using Nmap, Ndiff, cron, and a shell script, it's possible to scan a network daily and get email reports of the state of the network and changes since the previous scan. Example 3, lqScanning a network periodically with Ndiff and cronrq shows the script that ties it together.
Example 3. Scanning a network periodically with Ndiff and cron
-
#!/bin/sh TARGETS="targets" OPTIONS="-v -T4 -F -sV" date=`date +%F` cd /root/scans nmap $OPTIONS $TARGETS -oA scan-$date > /dev/null if [ -e scan-prev.xml ]; then ndiff scan-prev.xml scan-$date.xml > diff-$date echo "*** NDIFF RESULTS ***" cat diff-$date echo fi echo "*** NMAP RESULTS ***" cat scan-$date.nmap ln -sf scan-$date.xml scan-prev.xml
If the script is saved as /root/scan-ndiff.sh, add the following line to root's crontab:
-
0 12 * * * /root/scan-ndiff.sh
EXIT CODE
The exit code indicates whether the scans are equal.
- * 0 means that the scans are the same in all the aspects Ndiff knows about.
- * 1 means that the scans differ.
- * 2 indicates a runtime error, such as the failure to open a file.

HISTORY
Ndiff started as a project by Michael Pattrick during the 2008 Google Summer of Code. Michael designed the program and led the discussion of its output formats. He wrote versions of the program in Perl and C++, but the summer ended shortly after it was decided to rewrite the program in Python for the sake of Windows (and Zenmap) compatibility. This Python version was written by David Fifield. James Levine m[blue]releasedm[][1] a Perl script named Ndiff with similar functionality in 2000.
