nmap-scan

nmap-scan is a skill for Claude Code from mahuttha/offensive-recon. It costs 61 tokens per session (883 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guided Nmap tool for checking which network ports are open, which services run on them, and sometimes which operating system a host uses. Nmap is a network-reconnaissance program used to inspect authorized computers or networks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan an approved IP address, hostname, or network range, with optional port ranges and quick, standard, full, or slower stealth scans.
Why use it?
It organizes common scan types and requires confirmation before scanning, helping prevent accidental or unauthorized checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

nmap-scan scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nmap Scan — Port & Service Discovery

Run network reconnaissance using Nmap against an authorized target.

Decision Loop: In-the-Loop (target approval required before scanning)

Safety — MUST Confirm Before Scanning

Before executing ANY scan:

  1. Display the target and scan mode to the user
  2. Ask for explicit confirmation: "ยืนยันการสแกนเป้าหมาย (Confirm scan target): <target>?"
  3. Do NOT proceed without user approval
  4. Remind: "Scanning without authorization may be illegal"

Arguments

Parse the user's input for:

  • <target> — IP address, hostname, or CIDR range (REQUIRED)
  • --mode — Scan mode (default: standard)
  • --ports — Custom port range (e.g., 1-1000, 80,443,8080)

Scan Modes

Mode Flags Description
quick -F -T4 Top 100 ports, fast timing
standard -sV -T3 Service version detection
full -sV -sC -O -T3 Version + scripts + OS detection
stealth -sS -T2 SYN scan, slower timing

Execution

After user confirmation, run:

# Build command based on mode
MODE_FLAGS="<flags from table above>"
PORT_FLAG=""  # Add "-p <ports>" if --ports specified

sudo nmap ${MODE_FLAGS} ${PORT_FLAG} -oN /tmp/nmap-output.txt -oX /tmp/nmap-output.xml <target> 2>&1

Important: Nmap often requires sudo for SYN scans and OS detection.

Output Format

Parse the Nmap output and present:

## ผลการสแกน Nmap (Nmap Scan Results)

### ข้อมูลเป้าหมาย (Target Info)
- **เป้าหมาย (Target)**: `<target>`
- **โหมด (Mode)**: standard (-sV)
- **เวลา (Time)**: <timestamp>
- **สถานะ (Status)**: Host is up (latency: Xms)

### พอร์ตที่เปิด (Open Ports)

| 80/tcp | open | http | Apache httpd 2.4.52 |
| 443/tcp | open | https | nginx 1.18.0 |

### ระบบปฏิบัติการ (OS Detection)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nmap-scan is a skill published in the GitHub repository mahuttha/offensive-recon (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 883 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
