scans2any

Convert infrastructure scans into various output formats, such as Markdown tables, YAML, HTML, CSV, and more. It can also be used to generate launch scripts and target files for various other scanners.

Install & Run

You can either install it via uv in a virtual environment:

uv venv
uv pip install .
source .venv/bin/activate
scans2any

or directly with uv tool install . or pipx install .

It is also possible to simply run it with uv: uv run scans2any

Docker

With the provided Dockerfile, you can run scans2any without any prior setup. Simply run:

docker build -t scans2any .
docker run -v $(pwd):/data scans2any

                        Plain text formats for additional IP and hostname
                        mapping

output writer:
  -w, --writer {aquatone,csv,database,excel,host,html,json,latex,markdown,nmap,terminal,typst,url,xml,yaml}
                        Specify output writer. (default: terminal)
  --multi-table         Creates one table for each host, if supported by
                        output format
  -c, --columns COLUMNS
                        Specify output columns as a comma-separated list.
                        (default: ('IP-Addresses', 'Hostnames', 'Ports',
                        'Services', 'Banners', 'OS'))
  -W, --list-writers    List writers with descriptions and options

verbosity options:
  -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity level (use twice for debug mode)
  -q, --quiet           Suppresses all output except errors

filter options:
  --filters FILTERS [FILTERS ...]
                        Overwrites default filters with specified filters
                        (default: ['trash_banner', 'trash_service_name',
                        'trash_hostname', 'combine_banner', 'nmap_banner'])
  -F, --enable-filters ENABLE_FILTERS [ENABLE_FILTERS ...]
                        Enables additional filters (applied after --filters)
  --disable-filters DISABLE_FILTERS [DISABLE_FILTERS ...]
                        Disables certain filters (will be applied after
                        --enable-filters)
  -C, --col col:regex [col:regex ...]
                        Shorthand for --enable-filters column_filter
                        --column-regex. Filter hosts/services by column regex.
                        Syntax: col:regex (match), col:!regex (negate), regex
                        (all columns). Multiple specs are ANDed. Use (?i)
                        prefix for case-insensitive matching. Example: -C
                        Services:(?i)http Banners:!N/A
  -Cv, --col-value [col:regex ...]
                        Like -C but enables value-level mode: every service
                        must satisfy each global pattern on its own
                        service-level fields to be kept. Multi-value fields
                        (Banners, Services, etc.) are trimmed to exact
                        matches.
  -Ch, --col-host [col:regex ...]
                        Like -C but enables host-level mode: if the host (or
                        any of its services) satisfies the patterns, the
                        entire host is kept with all its services intact.
  --hosts-file filename
                        Filter output by a list of IPs or hostnames from a
                        file (one per line)
  -L, --list-filters    List filters with descriptions and options

writer arguments:
  --table-fmt TABLE_FMT
                        Table format for terminal output, see tabulate python
                        package (default: fancy_grid)

Examples: scans2any --nmap tcp_scan.xml --nmap udp_scan.xml --nessus
scan.nessus

nmap

nmap 188.68.47.54 -sS -A -Pn -n -T4 -oA 188.68.47.54 -p 21,22,53,80,443,8443,8444

[!NOTE] The nmap output includes a port that is not part of the infrastructure. This is done because scanning closed ports with nmap can help with OS detection.
