Smap – A Drop-In Replacement For Nmap Powered By Shodan.Io
So we all know about the tool Nmap (Network Mapper) and just like the NMAP tool, Smap is also a network scanner that is used to discover any host and services running on a target system by sending packets and analyzing the responses. Smap is a passive Nmap-like scanner built with shodan.io, it is a full replica of Nmap that is using shodan.io’s free API for port scanning. All the command line arguments are the same as NMAP and all the output it provides is like NMAP which makes it a proper drop-in replacement for Nmap.
