Nmap Analysis Tool

This CLI python script is designed to be used by security consultants, IT admins and network engineers to do two things, compare two Nmap XML files to create a spreadsheet that compares IPs, ports and services between the files, and create a markdown report using GPT via OpenAI directly or Daniel Miessler's Fabric tool.

Features

Comprehensive Nmap XML Parsing

  • Multiple File Support: Parse and analyze two Nmap XML output files.
  • Structured Data: Converts Nmap's XML output into a structured format for further processing.

Comparative Analysis

  • Change Detection: Compare results from two Nmap scans to identify new, altered, or removed services and ports. Useful for when you scan the same IPs from different source IPs or over time.
  • Excel Reporting: Automatically generates detailed Excel spreadsheets with the comparison results and some stats.

Statistical Overview and Visualization

  • Network Exposure Statistics: Offers statistical analysis on detected services and open ports.
  • Excel Visualizations: Includes pie charts in Excel reports for a graphical representation of the network's security posture.

AI-Powered Insights with GPT

  • GPT Report Generation: Uses OpenAI's GPT to generate insightful analysis reports based on Nmap result stats. The tool uses a hardcoded prompt that sets the tone and requirements, then the script inserts the stats (no identifying information is provided) and if -c --context has been provided, it'll add the context to the bottom of the prompt.
  • Customizable Context: Enhance GPT analysis by providing additional context, tailoring the report to specific needs.

AI-Powered Insights with Fabric

  • Fabric Report Generation: Uses Fabric to generate insightful analysis reports based on Nmap result stats. The tool uses a hardcoded system prompt (pattern) that sets the tone and requirements, then the script inserts the stats (no identifying information is provided). I prefer the output created by Fabric over GPT.

Usage

The script prints the help page if no args are passed, or you can access with python nmap-analysis.py -h. Make sure to create an .env file that contains "OPENAI_KEY=x"

  • Comparing Nmap Scans:
python nmap-analysis.py compare -ff (--first-nmap-file) path/to/first.xml -lf (--last-nmap-file) path/to/second.xml

Generating a GPT Report:

python nmap-analysis.py gpt-report -gf (--gpt-nmap-file) path/to/nmap.xml -c (--context) "Your optional context here"

Generating a AI Report via Fabric (uses your chosen model and vendor):

python nmap-analysis.py fabric-report -gf (--gpt-nmap-file) path/to/nmap.xml
