Drop-in Replacement For Nmap

Smap - a drop-in replacement for NMAP that powered by Shodan. It is a replica of Nmap which uses shodan.io's free API for port scanning. It takes similar cmdline arguments as Nmap and produces the same output which makes it a drop-in replacement for Nmap.

Smap is super fast since it simple fetches existent port data from shodan.io. It can be used as:

  • a super fast port scanner (200 hosts per second)
  • vulnerability detection (services/version fingerprinting)
  • reconnaissance on most common ports (limited to top 1237) 
  • connection-less or passive-scan to the target

 

 Most important is, it doesn't require any account/api key.
