Nmap Nmap

Import your Nmap network scans for discovery and inventory

The Nmap connector allows you to import your Nmap network scan results for network discovery, ports inventory and operating systems detection.

Objective

The Nmap connector allows you to import the following information:

  • Network discovery (active hosts, scanned IP ranges)
  • Open ports and services
  • Detected operating systems

Prerequisites

  • XML files generated by Nmap (format .xml)
  • Nmap scans executed on your infrastructure

Procedure

Generate Nmap Scan Results

  1. Execute a Nmap scan on your network:
nmap -sV -O -oX scan_results.xml <target_range>

Parameters:

  • -sV: Service version detection
  • -O: Operating system detection
  • -oX scan_results.xml: Output in XML format
  • <target_range>: IP range to scan (e.g., 192.168.0.0/24)
  1. Wait for the scan to complete (duration varies based on target size).
  2. The .xml file will be created in the current directory.

Import into OverSOC

  1. In OverSOC, go to Data Sources Settings > Sources.
  2. Select Nmap and click Configure.
  3. Upload the .xml file generated by Nmap.
  4. Click Save Configuration.

OverSOC will automatically parse the XML file and import network discovery data, detected services and operating system information.
