osclass not returned with nmap when using -O flag in python










0















Following a reading of this answer, I have tried scripting a simple nmap call in Python to get osclass in the results returned.



My script is as follows:



import sys
import os
import nmap

try:
nm = nmap.PortScanner()
except nmap.PortScannerError:
print('Nmap not found', sys.exc_info()[0])
sys.exit(1)
except:
print("Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0])
sys.exit(1)

if(os.getuid() == 0):
nm.scan("127.0.0.1", arguments="-O")
print(nm.command_line())
if 'osclass' in nm["127.0.0.1"]:
for osclass in nm["127.0.0.1"]["osclass"]:
print('OsClass.type : 0'.format(osclass['type']))
print('OsClass.vendor : 0'.format(osclass['vendor']))
print('OsClass.osfamily : 0'.format(osclass['osfamily']))
print('OsClass.osgen : 0'.format(osclass['osgen']))
print('OsClass.accuracy : 0'.format(osclass['accuracy']))
print('')
else:
print("no osClass detected")


And my output returns, when run with root privileges:




nmap -oX - -O 127.0.0.1



no osClass detected
