udp-hunter: Network assessment tool for various UDP Services

What is UDP Hunter?

UDP Scanning has always been a slow and painful exercise, and if you add IPv6 on top of UDP, the tool choices get pretty limited. UDP Hunter is a python based open-source network assessment tool focused on UDP Service Scanning. With UDP Hunter, we have focused on providing auditing of widely known UDP protocols for IPv6 and IPv4 hosts. As of today, UDP Hunter supports 19 different service probes. The tool allows you to do bulk scanning of large networks as well as targeted host scanning for specific ports and more. Once an open service is discovered, UDP Hunter takes it one step further and even provides you guidance on how you can possibly exploit the discovered services. UDP Hunter provides reports in a neat text format, however, support for more formats is under way.

How does UDP Hunter work?

UDP Hunter creates a list of IPs when any IP range is provided to it. It also supports domain names which will be resolved and the IP will be added to the list. Once the list has been created internally by UDP Hunter, it will send UDP probes to all listed IPs. If the host is running a UDP service, it will respond. UDP Hunter basically sniffs network particularly for UDP traffic, then reads all UDP packets coming to the target host. All UDP probes received after running UDP Hunter will be reported. However, there is an option (by setting –noise=false) to ignore irrelevant UDP packets and only observe the UDP traffic of interest originated from the hosts and services/ports which are mentioned in the target list. The idea behind creating UDP Hunter was initially inspired by udp-proto-scanner. I heartily thank Portcullis Labs for it and also Anant and Sumit Siddharth(Sid) for their valuable inputs while working on UDP Hunter.
