Seemingly Simple Plugin

[rhyse]

Hi

I am trying to create a simple plugin that takes a variable then outputs the output to the screen. I have tried bastardising teh arp-scanner plugin but seem to have got stuck (I am not a programmer/developer by any means)

Essentially I would like something similar to the traceroute / ping options under Interfaces -> Diagnostics.

But I can't find those under the opnsense/plugins git. If you want to look at my intial very poor attempt you can find it here https://github.com/rhysxevans/plugins/tree/master/security/nmap .

Any chance to get the code for the ping / traceroute "plugins" ?

Once I have the intial command one working , I can potentially look at adding checkboxes etc for the variables

Basically , I need a portscanner and os identifier (will look at extending this)

Any help is appreciated

so you need nmap?

The ping code uses static pages, which you shouldn't use to build new components: more code, hard to maintain, no API.

Michael's blog has numerous step-by-step tutorials for building new plugins:

For more see the "OPNsense" tab.

Hi

In short yes,  for now. but there is a longer term aim of getting something like openvas into the system (note I dont know how feasible that is).

But baby steps for now

Franco - I will reread that link

Thanks

Ok, just to keep people updated. I haven't progressed any further on this due to time constraints. Primarily work related

So a not so simple question, what is the possibility of someone picking this up ? One option would be to convert the ping / traceroute pages static pages into default "plugins" - I could then "learn" from that (please note I am not a delveloper in any shape or form) and move forward from there

Other option is anyone willing to do this at a resonable cost (be it direct or via donation to the project)

I am thinking something similar to the pfsense nmap lugins options in the gui, but it could be as simple as a dns name or ip address to input initially.

I know MasterXBKC has attempted this, but has come across some blockers. I appreciate his efforts.

Apologies if this is not the way to go via this. If it is can someone please direct me to where I should be looking (i did google opnsense coders)

You can use the code that MasterXBKC provided manually no problem and go from there.

It's in here... https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/pull/557/files
