Missing scripts in NMAP

The changelog for Nmap 6.49BETA6 says:

[GH#171] smb-check-vulns has been split into:

    smb-vuln-conficker
    smb-vuln-cve2009-3103
    smb-vuln-ms06-025
    smb-vuln-ms07-029
    smb-vuln-regsvc-dos
    smb-vuln-ms08-067

The scripts now use the vulns library, and the "unsafe" script-arg has been replaced by putting the scripts into the "dos" category. [Paulino Calderon]

Basically just run --script vuln instead of --script smb-check-vulns

and you will get your results.

In the latest NMAP versions "vuln" is a category that has all vulnerabilities in them instead of a separate smb-check-vulns command.

Lisen to Paulino Calderon (we have develop many nse scripts to nmap).

See this video here showing how to port nse scripts and libs to nmap database: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARuIQDDXrBg

you can use script 'categories' to run all scripts inside that categorie, example: nmap --script dos (will run all scripts inside categorie dos) https://nmap.org/nsedoc/

About --script-updatedb switch ... it DOES NOT retrieve anything from network (updates), that switch serves to manually update nmap database if you are locally developing nse scripts or libs to nmap ...
