# network-scan
## Description
This skill scans ports and devices on a network using nmap. It supports various target formats, including CIDR notation, IP ranges, and comma-separated lists. Defaults to quick scan for CIDR.
## Inputs
* `target`: The target network or IP address to scan (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2).
* `ports`: The ports to scan (e.g., 80,443).
* `--quick`: (Optional) Scan only the top 10 ports.
* `--fast`: (Optional) Use aggressive scan settings (nmap -T4).
* `--timeout`: (Optional) Set a timeout in seconds for the scan (default: 30).
* `--top-ports`: (Optional) Scan the top N most common ports (e.g., --top-ports 100).
* `--hosts-limit`: (Optional) Limit the number of hosts to scan (e.g., --hosts-limit 50).
* `--exclude`: (Optional) Exclude a specific IP address from the scan (e.g., --exclude 192.168.1.5).
## Outputs
JSON object containing the nmap scan results. Includes scan results, nmap command used, and scan information.
## Usage
To use this skill, call it with the `target` and `ports` parameters:
```
network-scan target=192.168.1.0/24 ports=80,443 --fast --timeout 60 --hosts-limit 50 --exclude 192.168.1.100
```
