The script will fail if the target does not reply to ICMP request

[tbela99]

The script will end if the target does not reply to ICMP requests with a message "the domain cannot be resolved". Running nmap directly still works as expected

[Gr1mmie]

Readme clearly gives an argument to bypass the resolving feature

without -nr

Works as intended just fine

Still autoenum fails to work. every command will return something like this

Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-02-03 16:02 EST
WARNING: No targets were specified, so 0 hosts scanned.
Nmap done: 0 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.38 seconds

hmm I'll do some testing and see if I can replicate this and work on a fix

[tbela99]

There is another failing scenario

• launch the script (do not use the -nr flag)
• enter an ipv4 address for the target

the script will still attempt to resolve that ipv4 address and fail when the target does not reply to ICMP requests. it should not resolve an ipv4 address. Using -nr fixes the problem

[Gr1mmie]

Well yeah because by default, autoenum attempts to verify if the machine is up. -nr tells autoenum to set the machine as a target regardless if it's up or not. That's not a "failing scenario", that's a feature added to bypass the resolving function in the case that the machine is up and we know it is

Here is the issue

https://github.com/Gr1mmie/autoenum/blob/master/functions/help_general.sh#L15

You are assigning the value only if it matches an ip address, in case of a domain name $IP is not set
