Nmap Pentest Scans

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 <target> --input <path> --output <path> --format json --dry-run

Outputs

• scan-plan.json
• scan-plan.md
• recommended-commands.txt
• findings/nmap-pentest-findings.json
• nmap-pentest-scans-report.json
