Introduction

The node-nmap-viewer is program for displaying a nmap scan file in a node web server. It is intended as a network scanner to list all active computers on a specific ip nett. The scanned list uses mongoDB to store state and description of scanned network.

The program is made to run on Ubuntu 16.04 or later.

Getting started

Install nmap: sudo apt install nmap Install Node.js:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Install MongoDB:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Verify that mongodb is running sudo systemctl status mongodb [Optional] Download mongodb viewer Robo 3T: https://robomongo.org/

Clone or download repository and unzip. Open terminal and navigate to folder run npm install to install dependencies Run nmap and generate an output file. Change the IP with your subnet IP. sudo nmap -oX output.xml -sP 192.168.10.*

Open datapusher.js and change ipnett to your subnet. run nodejs datapuser.js. This will continuesly monitor the output.xml for status updates and push to mongodb on change. [Optional] Set up the nmap command in a cron job to make nmap continuesly scan the network.

Open another terminal window and run sudo nodejs server.js to start server on port 8080. Open browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to verify system working.
