NMAP ipidseq script

So I'm trying to utilize the NMAP script IPIDSEQ in a test environment to provide a proof of concept, but I'm not getting output I expect of the script.

Here is what I run: nmap --script ipidseq A.B.C.D

Here is what I get:
Starting Nmap 5.51 ( Nmap - Free Security Scanner For Network Exploration & Security Audits. ) at 2011-02-15 09:57 Central Standard Time
Nmap scan report for A.B.C.D
Host is up (0.00065s latency).
Not shown: 996 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
135/tcp open msrpc
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
3389/tcp open ms-term-serv

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.34 seconds

The script is supposed to provide some output indicating the status of the IP ID Sequence used by the target host A.B.C.D per the documentation found here: ipidseq NSE Script

Has anyone used this successfully. Any idea what I'm missing? This does NOT seem like it should be that complicated.

Thanks guys.

Try adding -v for verbose output.

A lot of the scripts only output something if its noteworthy. If you look at the example:

---
-- @usage 
-- nmap --script ipidseq [--script-args probeport=port] target
-- @args probeport Set destination port to probe
-- @output
-- Host script results:
-- |_ipidseq: Incremental! [used port 80]

You can see it's alerting you that the sequence is incremental. It looks like it does others, such as "all zeros" and "all same" as well.

Here is verbose:

Still no indication of IP ID Sequence. Time to dissect the script I guess and figure out what logic results in not giving any info.

Turned on debugging after wading through the script for a bit. Got this:

NSE: ipidseq against 172.16.29.3 threw an error!

Here is the function beginning at line 211:

local tcp = genericpkt(host, port)

while i <= NUMPROBES do

local status, len, _, layer3 = pcap:pcap_receive()
local test = bin.pack('AA=S=S', tcp.ip_bin_src, tcp.ip_bin_dst, tcp.tcp_sport, tcp.tcp_dport)

end

if status then
table.insert(ipids, packet.u16(layer3, 4))
end

updatepkt(tcp)

i = i + 1
end

pcap:close()
sock:ip_close()

local output = ipidseqclass(ipids)

if nmap.debugging() > 0 then

end

return output

Jesus...don't flame the Windows 7 n00b. This works without issue once I run the thing as administrator.

Don't feel so bad. As someone who has been teaching the basics of User Account Control, Integrity Levels, and LSA security tokens in Windows Vista / 7 to others at work, I hate to admit that this might have stumbled me as well. After all these years I'm sometimes still used to the older XP security model. Old habits die hard.

That's funny. I actually tried that when I was testing, but I still didn't get any results, so I didn't mention it. *whoops*

One thing that I found out much later than I should have is that if you hold ctrl+shift while starting an application, it launches with administrative privileges. Therefore, you just need to hit the Windows key, type cmd, then ctrl+shift+enter, and you get an administrative command prompt without leaving the keyboard.
