removing IP from previous scan

[Shotokanman]

I am testing Goscan, which I really like so far. I loaded one IP and ran through the process. But I can’t load another IP or remove the previous IP, it shows the first IP. I can’t clear either. Is there a way to remove an IP once you have completed the goscan for that IP? Because of this issue, I am only able to use goscan once.

Hi @Shotokanman, what happens if you try to load target ... again?

[Shotokanman]

Marco when I tried to load another IP, nothing happens. When I show targets, it contains the old ipaddress. I can't change it or load any new endpoints to scan.

I see, adding the ability to remove targets is an enhancement already requested in #14.
But we should definitely add the ability to add new targets as well.

If someone has some bandwidth to work on this it would be really helpful!

Hello!
I have some bandwidth available and I'd love to give it a try if that's ok

A few question about the feature:

• Which name would be better? "unload" / "delete" / "remove" ?
• What kind of arguments should be accepted? Only the IP ?
• What is the expected behaviour when you delete the target? does it also delete all the linked objects ( ports / hosts / services ) ?

Hi @PouuleT, thank you for volunteering to help! 🙏

Regarding your questions:

Which name would be better? "unload" / "delete" / "remove" ?

What about unload?

What kind of arguments should be accepted? Only the IP ?

It would be good to mirror the behaviour of the load command, starting with the ability to remove only one single target.
Something like: unload target SINGLE <IP/32>

What is the expected behaviour when you delete the target? does it also delete all the linked objects ( ports / hosts / services ) ?

I think it would be easier to take an incremental approach, starting by removing just the target and then, in a future iteration, we could try to remove also all the linked objects. What do you think?

[PouuleT]

I like the incremental approach! I'll go with unload target SINGLE <IP/32> which will only remove the target.
I'll try to make the PR before the end of the week
