When attempting to diagnose why a specific target cannot be scanned, we can query the database to discover the results of connection attempts for that target. It is useful to filter on connection date as well as IP address if the target has had multiple scan attempts.
It may be useful (especially in the absence of Target Logs) when diagnosing a failure to scan a target, to combine the output of these two queries with the command history output query; this will show you all the results obtained from the commands that were attempted.
First, get the results of the Port Scan (where we attempt to find open ports on the target)
You will need to replace the IP address and date in the example query with a valid target IP address and a date on which the target was scanned.
SELECT ch.IPAddress , o.Name as Outcome , p.Name as Protocol , ch.Port , Message , convert(date,ch.AttemptDate) as DateAttempted FROM history.t_ConnectionHistory ch INNER JOIN config.t_Outcome o ON o.OutcomeID = ch.OutcomeID INNER JOIN config.t_Protocol p ON ch.ProtocolID = p.ProtocolID WHERE -- Protocol 14 is called "TCP" and is the port scan p.Name = 'TCP' AND -- == Customize These == -- IPAddress ='192.168.0.1' AND CONVERT(date,ch.AttemptDate)='YYYY-MM-DD' ORDER BY Port
Next, get the results for other connection attempts
SELECT ch.IPAddress , o.Name as Outcome , p.Name as Protocol , ch.Port , Message , convert(date,ch.AttemptDate) as DateAttempted FROM history.t_ConnectionHistory ch INNER JOIN config.t_Outcome o ON o.OutcomeID = ch.OutcomeID INNER JOIN config.t_Protocol p ON ch.ProtocolID = p.ProtocolID WHERE -- Protocol 14 is called "TCP" and is the port scan p.Name != 'TCP' AND-- == Customize These == -- IPAddress ='192.168.0.1' AND CONVERT(date,ch.AttemptDate)='YYYY-MM-DD'
