What is Network Scan?
The network-scan skill is a professional-grade reconnaissance tool designed to integrate seamlessly with Openclaw Skills. It allows developers and security professionals to automate network discovery by wrapping the industry-standard nmap engine. Whether you are auditing local infrastructure or mapping out cloud assets, this skill provides a structured way to interact with network protocols.
By utilizing this skill within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, users can programmatically identify active hosts, verify open ports, and assess network topography. It supports flexible target definitions, including CIDR notation, IP ranges, and individual host lists, ensuring it fits into diverse automation workflows.
Network Scan Use Cases
- Identifying active devices on a local subnet for asset management.
- Auditing web server security by scanning for open ports 80 and 443 across IP ranges.
- Performing rapid reconnaissance on critical infrastructure using top-port filtering.
- Troubleshooting connectivity issues by verifying host availability and response times.
How Network Scan Works
- The skill receives input parameters such as the target IP range and specific ports to investigate.
- It translates these inputs into a optimized nmap command, applying performance flags like fast or quick scan modes.
- The nmap process is executed, scanning the specified targets while respecting defined timeouts and host limits.
- Raw output is parsed and transformed into a clean, machine-readable JSON object.
- The finalized results are returned to the agent, facilitating further analysis or reporting within Openclaw Skills.
Network Scan Setup
To utilize this skill, ensure that nmap is installed on your system. You can then invoke the skill through your Openclaw Skills interface using the following command structure:
network-scan target=192.168.1.0/24 ports=80,443 --fast
Network Scan Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill returns a structured JSON object designed for easy consumption by other tools. The schema includes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
results |
An array containing detailed status for every scanned host and port. |
command |
The specific nmap CLI string generated and executed by the skill. |
scan_info |
Metadata including total time elapsed and number of hosts detected. |
Network Scan Advanced Features
- Aggressive timing templates (-T4) via the fast flag for high-speed network discovery.
- Intelligent host limiting to prevent network congestion or resource over-utilization.
- Robust exclusion logic to skip sensitive IP addresses during broad subnet sweeps.
- Quick-scan defaults for CIDR notation to provide immediate feedback on large networks.
