Unicornscan and PostgreSQL
--------------------------

1.  The PostgreSQL service has to be up and running. Depending on the exact
    version of Slackware, on the first PostgreSQL startup, a "initdb -D \
    /var/lib/pgsql/data" is maybe required for initializing.

    bash-4.2# /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql start

2.  Switch to the PostgreSQL user.

    bash-4.2# su - postgres
    postgres@darkstar:~$

3.  Create an own PostgreSQL database user for unicornscan. Don't forget to set
    a password, e.g. "scanit!" as it is used in all examples.

    postgres@darkstar:~$ createuser --no-superuser --no-createrole --no-createdb --pwprompt unicornscan
    Enter password for new role:
    Enter it again:

4.  Create an own PostgreSQL database for unicornscan linked with the previous
    generated database user for unicornscan.

    postgres@darkstar:~$ createdb --owner unicornscan unicornscan

5.  Switch back to the root user.

    postgres@darkstar:~$ exit
    bash-4.2#

6.  Edit PostgreSQL client authentication file /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
    file with a text editor, insert the following lines before the other already
    existing rules.

    # TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD
    local   unicornscan unicornscan                       md5
    host    unicornscan unicornscan 127.0.0.1/32          md5
    host    unicornscan unicornscan ::1/128               md5

7.  Edit PostgreSQL server configuration in /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
    and set the configuration variable as follows:

    escape_string_warning = off

8.  Restart the PostgreSQL service to enable the previous performed changes.

    bash-4.2# /etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql restart
    Restarting PostgreSQL...
    waiting for server to shut down.... done
    server stopped
    server starting

9.  Create the required tables for unicornscan inside of PostgreSQL database,
    there will be some error messages displayed after entering the password for
    psql. These error messages are normal and expected, because the SQL dump
    contains a SQL DROP of all tables before the SQL CREATE is performed.

    bash-4.2# psql --username unicornscan --password unicornscan < /usr/doc/unicornscan-0.*/pgsql_schema.sql
    Password for user unicornscan:
    [...]
    bash-4.2# psql --username unicornscan --password unicornscan < /usr/doc/unicornscan-0.*/session.sql
    Password for user unicornscan:
    [...]

10. Edit the unicornscan configuration file /etc/unicornscan/modules.conf and
    check or correct the PostgreSQL database connection settings.

    module "pgsqldb" {
            dbconf:         "user=unicornscan password=scanit! host=localhost dbname=unicornscan";
            logpacket:      "true";
    };

11. Perform a small sample scan and write the output to PostgreSQL database.

    bash-4.2# unicornscan www.google.com -e pgsqldb
    TCP open                    http[   80]         from 209.85.129.104  ttl 52
    TCP open                   https[  443]         from 209.85.129.104  ttl 52
