Dhiru -
Most excellent - works like a charm!
A couple of notes for future researchers doing similar work.
For IP address wordlists, it may be convenient to use nmap's 'list'
option to generate IP addresses from multiple or large CIDR blocks, as
in:
nmap -sL -Pn -n 192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12 10.0.0.0/8 >ips.list
For hostnames, the list of potential strings is obviously very
site-specific. Harvesting strings from existing documents, hosts
files, DNS, shell history, server logs, etc. is low-hanging fruit.
Also note that fully-qualified hostnames (such as blah.example.net) as
well as bare hostnames (such as blah) are separately managed in the
known_hosts file, so any wordlist or incremental work should take both
variants into account.
Thanks again!
