The short version: I wanted a scanner that combines service fingerprinting, banner grabbing, and host discovery in one binary, with sane defaults and output that reads like a report instead of a wall of JSON. It knocks on every door in the crypt and writes down what answered.
goals
- One binary, no runtime dependencies
- Concurrent scanning that uses the bandwidth it’s given
- Output shaped for what I do next, not for what nmap does
- Quiet by default. It speaks when it has something to say.
current status
In active use. On internal networks I reach for it before nmap, because the output is already shaped for the follow-up steps.
