Error procesing xml with nmap -sn option

[fearx135]

Hello I've tried to pass to a xls a xml file but the nmap result is with a "-sn" option (no port scan)

I've excecuted the following command; nmap -sn script=whois-domain -iL targets.txt -oA nmap/nmap_targets

There is no issue in the resulting xml,

but when I try to pass the xml to xls this is the following error (I thing it has to do with the fact that can make a summary sheet, because there are no ports)

>python nmap-converter-master\nmap-converter.py "location\nmap_whoisdomain.xml" -o test.xls
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for reporting this issue. I've made some changes to the script so that it now works without scan results. I've also patched it to include results form host scripts such as the "whois-domain" script you're trying to run.

Unfortunately I don't think this will help you much as the "whois-domain" script doesn't include its full output in the XML. For example this is the complete output saved by the script for a domain:

<hostscript>
  <script id="whois-domain"
    output="&#xa;&#xa;Domain name record found at whois.nic.hu&#xa;% Whois server 3.0 serving the hu ccTLD&#xd;&#xa;"/>
</hostscript>
