What This Skill Does
Wraps Nmap to perform local network vulnerability assessments. Detects open ports, running services, service versions, and OS fingerprints on specified hosts or network ranges.
Exposes Nmap's scanning capabilities through an agent interface, removing the need to manually construct and parse complex command-line invocations.
When to use it
- Scanning a home network for exposed ports
- Auditing a server before production deployment
- Identifying all services running on a subnet
- Checking OS versions of networked devices
- Finding unintended open ports on a corporate LAN
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: 'Scan 192.168.1.0/24 for open ports and service versions'
- 1Parse the target network range from the request
- 2Invoke Nmap with service version and OS detection flags against the range
- 3Collect raw scan output including open ports and service banners
- 4Parse and structure results by host
- 5Return findings with identified services and potential vulnerabilities
Per-host report listing open ports, detected service versions, and OS fingerprint data
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
