a11y.text Scanner POP3 Auxiliary Modules

The pop3_version module, as its name implies, scans a host or range of hosts for POP3 mail servers and determines the version running on them.

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/pop3/pop3_version
msf auxiliary(pop3_version) > show options

Module options (auxiliary/scanner/pop3/pop3_version):

   Name     Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----     ---------------  --------  -----------
   RHOSTS                    yes       The target address range or CIDR identifier
   RPORT    110              yes       The target port
   THREADS  1                yes       The number of concurrent threads

This module requires only that we set the RHOSTS and THREADS values then let it run.

RHOSTS => 192.168.1.200-250
msf auxiliary(pop3_version) > set THREADS 20
