SpooNMAP Grows Up: Findings, Local LLM Detection, and a Whole Lot Less Waiting

SpooNMAP has evolved from a simple port scanning wrapper into a comprehensive findings engine. By integrating masscan's speed for initial discovery with Nmap's detailed banner grabbing and context-aware NSE scripts, it now automatically generates severity-sorted reports in Markdown, JSON, and text formats. This automation allows analysts to move quickly from raw data to actionable security findings, covering everything from weak SSH ciphers to exposed database instances.

The update introduces significant features including 15 custom NSE scripts, specialized detection for exposed local LLMs (like Ollama and Gradio), and improved host discovery logic designed to avoid overwhelming firewalls. With added support for scan resumption and service-based port selection, SpooNMAP streamlines the reconnaissance phase of penetration testing, ensuring that practitioners can focus on exploitation rather than manual scanning configuration.
