Smap : A Drop-In Replacement For Nmap Powered By Shodan.Io

Smap is a replica of Nmap which uses shodan.io’s free API for port scanning. It takes same command line arguments as Nmap and produces the same output which makes it a drop-in replacement for Nmap.

Features

  • Scans 200 hosts per second
  • Doesn’t require any account/api key
  • Vulnerability detection
  • Supports all nmap’s output formats
  • Service and version fingerprinting
  • Makes no contact to the targets

Installation

Binaries

You can download a pre-built binary from here and use it right away.

AUR pacakge

Smap is available on AUR as smap-git (builds from source) and smap-bin (pre-built binary).

Usage

Smap takes the same arguments as Nmap but options other than -p-h-o*-iL are ignored. If you are unfamiliar with Nmap, here’s how to use Smap.

Specifying targets

smap 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2

You can also use a list of targets, seperated by newlines.

smap -iL targets.txt

Supported formats

1.1.1.1 // IPv4 address
example.com // hostname
178.23.56.0/8 // CIDR

Output

Smap supports 6 output formats which can be used with the -o* as follows

If you want to print the output to terminal, use hyphen (-) as filename.

Supported formats

oX // nmap’s xml format
oG // nmap’s greppable format
oN // nmap’s default format
oA // output in all 3 formats above at once
oP // IP:PORT pairs seperated by newlines
oS // custom smap format
oJ // json

Note: Since Nmap doesn’t scan/display vulnerabilities and tags, that data is not available in nmap’s formats. Use -oS to view that info.

Specifying ports

Smap scans these 1237 ports by default. If you want to display results for certain ports, use the -p option.

smap -p21-30,80,443 -iL targets.txt
