Scanners

Four scanners. One hosted workflow.

VulnScanners runs Nmap, Nuclei, OWASP ZAP, and testssl.sh on our infrastructure so you can pick the right tool for the target and get a PDF report per scan. The AI Pentest Agent takes it a step further with autonomous end-to-end penetration testing.

Nmap logo

Nmap

Network

Port and service inventory

TCP / UDP port scanning, service and version detection, OS fingerprinting, and the Nmap Scripting Engine — the foundation of any external assessment.

  • TCP & UDP scanning
  • Version detection
  • NSE scripts

Nuclei logo

Nuclei

CVE

Template-based CVE detection

Thousands of community-contributed YAML templates covering CVEs, misconfigurations, default credentials, and exposures across HTTP, DNS, TCP, SSL, and more.

  • CVE detection
  • Multi-protocol
  • Low false-positives

OWASP ZAP logo

OWASP ZAP

Web

Dynamic web app scanning

The open-source DAST tool — active and passive scan rules, traditional and AJAX spider, authentication support, and anti-CSRF token handling.

  • Active + passive scan
  • AJAX spider
  • Auth support

testssl.sh logo

testssl.sh

TLS

TLS/SSL configuration audit

Checks every protocol version, cipher suite, certificate chain detail, and known TLS vulnerability — Heartbleed, ROBOT, LOGJAM, and 20+ more — against any host:port.

  • Protocol detection
  • Cipher analysis
  • Attack checks

AI Pentest

Autonomous

Full-stack autonomous penetration testing

The AI Pentest agent runs a complete end-to-end engagement against your target — recon, service enumeration, vulnerability identification, controlled exploitation, and a written report with CVSS scores, proof-of-concept evidence, and remediation guidance. It combines the outputs of Nmap, Nuclei, and ZAP where relevant, then goes beyond them with LLM-driven reasoning to chain findings, test hypotheses, and validate exploitation paths an automated scanner would miss.

Results are presented as a structured pentest report, not a raw finding dump — executive summary, scope, methodology, each issue with a business impact statement, reproduction steps, and a timestamped evidence log. Costs $200 per target (covers the LLM compute), uses a separate credit pool from standard scanner credits.

  • Autonomous recon & exploitation
  • LLM-driven chaining
  • Full written report
  • CVSS-scored findings
  • Proof-of-concept evidence

How they work together

Run them in order. Or let the AI handle it.

  1. Nmap — map the surface. Ports, services, versions.
  2. testssl.sh — audit TLS configuration on any exposed host:port.
  3. Nuclei — sweep the discovered services for known CVEs, misconfigurations, and exposures.
  4. OWASP ZAP — go deep on the web applications, including authenticated surfaces.

Or run the AI Pentest Agent for an autonomous end-to-end engagement that combines all four scanners with LLM-driven reasoning and delivers a full written pentest report.
