To run any of these tools combined, simply run the following command:

oxo scan run --install --agent nmap --agent tsunami --agent nuclei ip 8.8.8.8

or

oxo scan run --install --agent agent/ostorlab/nmap --agent agent/ostorlab/tsunami --agent agent/ostorlab/nuclei ip 8.8.8.8

This command will download and install the following scanning agents:

And will scan the target IP address 8.8.8.8.

Agents are shipped as standard docker images.

To check the scan status, run:

oxo scan list

Once the scan has completed, to access the scan results, run:

oxo vulnz list --scan-id <scan-id>
oxo vulnz describe --vuln-id <vuln-id>
