history

Project history and usage

Smap is a passive, Nmap-like port scanner backed by Shodan data. It accepts many familiar Nmap-style arguments while avoiding direct connections to targets unless active verification is requested.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created in March 2022. The first release candidate, 0.1.0-rc, appeared later that month, followed by 0.1.0 in April 2022; the README describes Smap as a passive Nmap-like scanner built with shodan.io.

Adoption history

The official README documents prebuilt binaries, Go installation, AUR packages, and Homebrew installation. The supplied package metadata lists Homebrew and Nix package names, showing adoption by security-tool package sets as well as Go-based CLI users.

How it is used

Smap is used for fast passive port lookups, Nmap-compatible output formats, target lists, port filters, vulnerability display, and optional active verification through local nmap. The README notes that it does not require an account or API key.

Why package nerds care

Smap is interesting to package nerds because it wraps a network-intelligence service in a familiar Unix CLI shape: one binary, Nmap-like flags, packaged installs, and output formats that fit existing scanner pipelines.
