Nmap Pentest Scans

Stage

PTES: 2-3

MITRE: TA0007 - Discovery

Objective

Design reproducible Nmap scan workflows for authorized targets and produce deterministic scan-plan artifacts.

Required Workflow

1. Validate scope before any active action and reject out-of-scope targets. 2. Require explicit authorization for non-dry-run execution. 3. Select profile (stealth, balanced, fast) and build command sequence. 4. Produce normalized findings and export deterministic artifacts.

Execution

python skills/nmap-pentest-scans/scripts/nmap_pentest_scans.py --scope scope.json --target  --input  --output  --format json --dry-run

Outputs

scan-plan.json

scan-plan.md

recommended-commands.txt

findings/nmap-pentest-findings.json

nmap-pentest-scans-report.json
