# Deep scan with HTML report
python main.py --local-path "/path/to/project" --deep-scan --generate-html

Remote Repository Scanning

# Scan JFrog Artifactory
python main.py --repository-url "https://artifactory.company.com/artifactory/npm-repo/" --api-key "your-key"

# Scan NPM registry
python main.py --repository-url "https://registry.npmjs.org" --deep-scan

Report Generation

# Generate HTML report
python main.py --local-path "/path/to/project" --generate-html

# Convert JSON to HTML
python main.py --json-report scan_results.json --html-report dashboard.html

Command Line Options

Option	Description	Required
--repository-url	NPM repository URL to scan	No*
--local-path	Local directory path to scan	No*
--api-key	API key for authenticated access	No
--output-path	Base directory for reports (saved in /report subfolder)	No
--deep-scan	Enable deep content analysis	No
--all	Scan ALL packages (requires --deep-scan)	No
--generate-html	Generate HTML report after scanning	No
--json-report	Path to existing JSON scan report to convert to HTML	No

Output Files

All reports are automatically saved in a /report folder:

project/
├── report/
│   ├── npm_scan_report_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json    # Detailed JSON report
│   ├── npm_scan_report_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.html    # Interactive HTML dashboard
│   └── npm_scan_critical_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.csv   # Critical findings export
└── ...

Patterns

File	Purpose	Key Features
source_code.py	Source code heuristics	11 detection methods
metadata.py	Metadata analysis	9 detection methods
npm_specific.py	NPM-specific patterns	6 detection methods
unified_analyzer.py	Combined analysis	Risk scoring + categorization

Exit Codes

Code	Status	Meaning
0	✅ CLEAN	No malicious packages found
1	⚠️ SUSPICIOUS	Suspicious packages found
2	🚨 CRITICAL	Malicious packages detected

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

# "malicious_packages.json not found"
# Solution: Ensure enhanced database is in project root
ls -la malicious_packages.json

# "Could not download package for deep scan"
# Solution: Check network connectivity and repository access
python main.py --repository-url "https://registry.npmjs.org" --deep-scan

Performance Tips

• Use --deep-scan only when necessary (resource intensive)
• Avoid --all flag unless comprehensive scanning is required
• For CI/CD, use focused scanning with custom output paths

🔗 Enterprise Integration

CI/CD Pipeline Integration

# GitHub Actions workflow
- name: NPM Security Scan
  run: |
    python main.py --local-path . --deep-scan --generate-html
    if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then
      echo "🚨 CRITICAL: Malicious packages detected!"
      exit 1
    fi
