Divide Et Impera And Scan (and also merge the scan results)
DivideAndScan is used to efficiently automate port scanning routine by splitting it into 3 phases:
- Discover open ports for a bunch of targets.
- Run Nmap individually for each target with version grabbing and NSE actions.
- Merge the results into a single Nmap report (different formats available).
For the 1st phase a fast port scanner* is intended to be used, whose output is parsed and stored in a single file database (TinyDB). Next, during the 2nd phase individual Nmap scans are launched for each target with its set of open ports (multiprocessing is supported) according to the database data. Finally, in the 3rd phase separate Nmap outputs are merged into a single report in different formats (XML / HTML / simple text / grepable) with nMap_Merger. The visualization portion is provided by DrawNmap.
Potential use cases:
- Pentest engagements / red teaming with a large scope to enumerate.
- Cybersecurity wargames / training CTF labs.
- OSCP certification exam.

To successfully divide and scan we need to get some good port scanning tools (in the examples below GitHub releases are grabbed via eget).

DivideAndScan is available on PyPI as divideandscan
, though I recommend installing it from GitHub with pipx in order to always have the bleeding-edge version:
~$ pipx install -f "git+https://github.com/snovvcrash/DivideAndScan.git"
~$ das
There's also a release packed with shiv (large file size though):
# shiv -e das.divideandscan:main -o das.pyz divideandscan
~$ wget https://github.com/snovvcrash/DivideAndScan/releases/latest/download/das.pyz && chmod +x das.pyz
~$ ./das.pyz
For debbugging purposes you can set up a dev environment with poetry:
~$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/snovvcrash/DivideAndScan
~$ cd DivideAndScan
~$ poetry install
~$ poetry run das
📑 Note: DivideAndScan uses sudo to run all the port scanners, so it will ask for the password when scanning commands are invoked.
You can run DivideAndScan in a Docker container as follows:
~$ docker run --rm -it --name das -v ~/.das:/root/.das -v `pwd`:/app -p 8050:8050 snovvcrash/divideandscan
Since the tool requires some input data and produces some output data, you should specify your current working directory as the mount point at /app
within the container. Also publishing port 8050 on host allows to access the Dash app used for Nmap reports visualization.
You may want to set an alias to make the base command shorter:
~$ alias das='docker run --rm -it --name das -v ~/.das:/root/.das -v `pwd`:/app -p 8050:8050 snovvcrash/divideandscan'
~$ das
Provide the # Nmap, -v flag is always required for correct parsing!
~$ das add nmap '-v -n -Pn -e eth0 --min-rate 1000 -T4 -iL hosts.txt -p1-65535 --open'
# Masscan
~$ das add masscan '--rate 1000 -iL hosts.txt -p1-65535 --open'
# RustScan
~$ das add rustscan '-b 1000 -t 2000 -u 5000 -a hosts.txt -r 1-65535 -g --no-config'
# Naabu
~$ das add naabu '-rate 1000 -iL hosts.txt -p - -silent -s s'
# NimScan
~$ das add nimscan '192.168.1.0/24 -vi -p:1-65535 -f:500'

~$ sudo sx arp -i eth0 192.168.1.0/24 --json | tee arp.cache

🔥 Example 🔥
Let's enumerate open ports for all live machines on Hack The Box.
- Add mappings "host ⇄ open ports" to the database with Masscan. For demonstration purposes I will exclude dynamic port range to avoid unnecessary stuff by using
-p1-49151
. On the second screenshot I'm reviewing scan results by hosts and by ports:
~$ das -db htb add -rm masscan '-e tun0 --rate 1000 -iL hosts.txt -p1-49151 --open'
~$ das -db htb scan -hosts all -show
~$ das -db htb scan -ports all -show
- Launch Nmap processes for each target to enumerate only ports that we're interested in (the open ports). On the second screenshot I'm doing the same but starting Nmap processes simultaneously:
~$ das -db htb scan -hosts all -oA report
~$ das -db htb scan -hosts all -oA report -nmap '-Pn -sVC -O' -parallel
- As a result we now have a single report in all familiar Nmap formats (simple text, grepable, XML) as well as a pretty HTML report.
You can pair your favourite port scanner with DivideAndScan by implementing a single parse method for its output in das/parsers/DUMMY_SCANNER.py
(see example for masscan):
from das.parsers import IAddPortscanOutput
class AddPortscanOutput(IAddPortscanOutput):
"""Child class for processing DUMMY_SCANNER output."""
def parse(self):
"""
DUMMY_SCANNER raw output parser.
:return: a pair of values (portscan raw output filename, number of hosts added to DB)
:rtype: tuple
"""
hosts = set()
for line in self.portscan_raw:
# DUMMY_SCANNER parser implementation
pass
return (self.portscan_out, len(hosts))
usage: das [-h] [-db DB] {db,add,scan,dns,report,parse,draw,tree,help} ...
