NextgeNmap

Security-first Nmap automation GUI built for SecOps and systems teams that need repeatable scans, low noise, and fast reporting. NextgeNmap wraps Nmap with curated profiles, scheduling, SearchSploit integration, and HTML reporting so routine reconnaissance feels like a product, not a pile of scripts.

Features

• Cross-platform desktop app (Python 3 + PyQt 6.5) with a native-feeling GUI
• Curated scan profiles for consistent, targeted recon without rewriting flags
• Hooks for community scripts (SearchSploit, vulscan, and related checks)
• Automated scheduling with customizable criteria and email notifications
• HTML report generation via XSLT for stakeholder-ready output
• Reference docs covering profiles, scripts, options, flags, and a glossary

Prerequisites

All platforms

• Python 3.10+ available as python3/python
• Nmap CLI installed and on your PATH

macOS

• Homebrew recommended: brew install nmap exploitdb
• If prompted for build tools when installing Python packages: xcode-select --install

Windows

• Install Nmap (7.94+). Add C:\Program Files (x86)\Nmap\ (or your install path) to PATH via Edit the system environment variables → Environment Variables → Path → New.
• Install Python 3.11+ (64-bit) and ensure python is in PATH.

Linux

• Use your package manager (examples): sudo apt install nmap python3 python3-venv or sudo dnf install nmap python3 python3-virtualenv.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/quippy-dev/nextgenmap.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd nextgenmap

3. Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Optionally, install in editable mode (src layout):

pip install -e .

Usage

Launch NextgeNmap with one of the following commands:

python3 ./nextgenmap.py
python3 -m nextgenmap

SearchSploit integration

• NextgeNmap auto-detects SearchSploit on macOS (Homebrew exploitdb), Linux, and Windows.
• Preferred order: SEARCHSPLOIT_PATH env var, binaries on your PATH, common Homebrew locations, and finally Windows WSL (wsl -e searchsploit).
• On Windows, set SEARCHSPLOIT_WSL_DISTRO=<name> to target a specific distribution when falling back to WSL.

Testing

Install dev/test dependencies:

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Run the tests:

pytest -q
