Tool 173: Download overview of one, or more, newsgroup messages
Description:
This tool downloads the overview of messages in a newsgroup.
It uses a NNTP extension named XOVER.
The overview contains article number, subject, author, date,
message-id, references, byte count, and line count.
Parameter --newsgroup sets the newsgroup name.
Parameters --user and --pass defines the username and password.
Parameter --dst-ip is the address of remote host/server.
Parameter --dst-port is the port number where to connect.
Optional parameter --src-ip defines the local IP address to use.
Optional parameter --src-port defines the local port number to use.
Optional parameter --ip4opts permits to add IP4 options encoded as
mixed.
Optional parameter --ip6exts permits to add IP6 options encoded as
mixed (first byte is the next header number).
Optional parameters --device, --src-eth and --dst-eth permits to
create a virtual client using fake addresses (in this case, tool have
to be run with admin privilege in order to sniff and spoof at
Ethernet level).
Usage:
netwox 173 -i ip -g newsgroup -n uint32 [-N uint32] [-u login] [-a password] [-d device] [-E eth] [-e eth] [-I ip] [-P port] [-p port] [-o ip4opts] [-O ip6exts] [-T uint32]
