Nmap Cloud Scanner - Port Scanner + Service Detection
Cloud-hosted Nmap for TCP/SYN port scanning, version detection, and NSE scripting on authorized targets - structured output + raw XML.
Available as an Apify Actor. Pay-per-event. Cheaper than Nessus or Qualys subscriptions for ad-hoc scans.
What does it do?
Performs Nmap port scans on a target host or CIDR range from cloud infrastructure. TCP/SYN scans, service and version detection, full NSE script support (vuln, discovery, safe, default, custom). Returns structured per-port dataset records (host, port, protocol, state, service, version, script_output) plus raw Nmap XML in key-value store for offline parsing. Authorized testing only - documentation requires confirmation of ownership or permission.
How is it different from Nmap CLI on a server?
Wraps Nmap by Fyodor (the canonical network scanner, 9,000+ GitHub stars, 25 years of development, taught in every security certification).
When should I use it?
- Authorized pentest - external port enumeration
- Asset discovery for security audits on owned infrastructure
- Bug bounty (when target scope explicitly permits port scanning)
- Vulnerability detection via NSE vuln scripts
- SOC asset verification - confirm exposed services match inventory
What does it cost?
Pay-per-event:
Typical scan costs
- Single host, ~6 open ports: $0.28
- Single host, full scan (~20 records): $0.35
- Subnet scan (~250 records): $1.50
Which inputs does it take?
What does the output look like?
Each dataset record:
{
"host": "scanme.nmap.org",
"port": 22,
"protocol": "tcp",
"state": "open",
"service": "ssh",
"version": "OpenSSH 6.6.1p1 Ubuntu",
"script_output": {}
}Common questions
Q: Can I scan any IP? Only targets you own or have written permission to test. The input form requires authorized: true. Unauthorized scanning may violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (US) or equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.
Q: Does this run NSE scripts? Yes. All standard categories (default, safe, vuln, discovery, intrusive, exploit) plus specific script selection via name.
Q: Need a custom NSE script? DM LinkedIn for a 1-2 hour turnaround on custom script integration.
