output.127.0.0.1
output.www.yourdomain.name
or, when -O option is defined, output is placed in the given output

EXAMPLES
FTP, MTA and webserver options, CGI and IDA scan
$ hackbot.pl -f -m -w oci localhost
ALL scans
$ hackbot.pl -A localhost
or from a file
$ hackbot.pl -A -F file_with_hosts
or with ranges and output file
$ hackbot.pl -O logfile -A 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.255
or with CIDR's
$ hackbot.pl -A 192.168.1.0/24

or with a higher loglevel
$ hackbot-A -lv 192.168.1.1
GOOGLE SEARCH
The google search is issued with the -A option by default (using
google.db), a manual scan can be done this way:
hackbot.pl -g string host
For instance:
$ hackbot.pl -g britney www.geocities.com
Hackbot will search for URL's containing 'britney' on http://www.geoci‐
ties.com via google.
It could find this for instance:
http://www.geocities.com/britney.html
http://www.geocities.com/~user/britney.txt
