SneakyScanner

A comprehensive network scanning and infrastructure monitoring platform with web interface and CLI scanner. SneakyScanner uses masscan for fast port discovery, nmap for service detection, sslyze for SSL/TLS analysis, and Playwright for webpage screenshots to perform comprehensive infrastructure audits.

Primary Interface: Web Application (Flask-based GUI) Scripting/Automation: REST API (see API Reference)

Quick Start

Web Application

Easy Setup (One Command):

# 1. Clone repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd SneakyScan

# 2. Run setup script
./setup.sh

# 3. Access web interface at http://localhost:5000

The setup script will:

• Generate secure keys automatically
• Create required directories
• Build and start the Docker containers
• Initialize the database on first run
• Display your login credentials

Manual Setup (Alternative):

# 1. Clone repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd SneakyScan

# 2. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set SECRET_KEY, SNEAKYSCANNER_ENCRYPTION_KEY, and INITIAL_PASSWORD

# 3. Build and start (database auto-initializes on first run)
docker compose up --build -d

# 4. Access web interface
# Open http://localhost:5000

See Deployment Guide for detailed setup instructions.

Current Status

Latest Version: Phase 5 Complete ✅ Last Updated: 2025-11-19

Completed Phases

• ✅ Phase 1: Database schema, SQLAlchemy models, settings system
• ✅ Phase 2: REST API, background jobs, authentication, web UI
• ✅ Phase 3: Dashboard, scheduling, trend charts
• ✅ Phase 4: Config creator, target editor, config management UI
• ✅ Phase 5: Webhooks & alerting, notification templates, alert rules

Next Up: Phase 6 - CLI as API Client

Goal: Create a thin CLI client that calls the Flask API for scan operations, enabling scripting and automation workflows while leveraging centralized database storage and web dashboard features.

Planned Features:

• API token authentication for CLI access
• Remote scan triggering and status polling
• Centralized scan history accessible via web dashboard
• Scriptable automation workflows

See Roadmap for complete feature timeline and future phases.

Security Notice

⚠️ Important: This tool requires:

• --privileged flag or CAP_NET_RAW capability for raw socket access (masscan/nmap)
• --network host for direct network access

Only use this tool on networks you own or have explicit authorization to scan. Unauthorized network scanning may be illegal in your jurisdiction.

Security Best Practices

1. Run on dedicated scan server (not production systems)
2. Restrict network access with firewall rules
3. Use strong passwords and encryption keys
4. Enable HTTPS in production (reverse proxy recommended)
5. Regularly update Docker images and dependencies

See Deployment Guide for production security checklist.
