2.3. Getting simple scan information

After calling the run() method, the NmapScanner instance will have several properties to access scan information, only if no errors are raised. These properties are:

• start_timestamp: Get the timestamp from when the scan started.
• start_time: Get the human-readable date and hour from when the scan started.
• exit_status: Nmap application exit status.
• args: All arguments used in the scan, but this args are printed by nmap.
• summary: Scan summary.
• version: Nmap’s version.
• end_timestamp: Get the timestamp from when the scan finished.
• end_time: Get the human-readable date and hour from when the scan finished.
• finished: Boolean flag that tells if the scan has finished.
• tolerant_errors: String with errors that happened during the Nmap execution but let the scan finish.

Important

If any of this properties is accessed before calling the run() method, they will return None.

2.3.1. Example

import nmapthon as nm

scanner = nm.NmapScanner('192.168.1.0/24', ports='1-1024', arguments='-sS')
scanner.run()

# If program reaches this point, we can get the properties.
print("Started at: {}".format(scanner.start_time))
print("Used {} nmap version.".format(scanner.version))
print("The tolerant errors were:\n{}".format(scanner.tolerant_errors))
# You can keep calling any of this properties
