Flan Scan is a lightweight network vulnerability scanner from Cloudflare that wraps Nmap and the vulners script to detect open ports, service versions, and matching CVEs. It runs in a Docker container, supports Kubernetes deployment, and can push reports to S3 or GCS.

Use cases

  • scan my network for open ports and service versions
  • find CVEs affecting hosts on my network
  • run a vulnerability scanner in a container
  • deploy nmap-based vulnerability scanning on Kubernetes
  • generate vulnerability scan reports in latex or html
  • upload nmap scan results to S3 or GCS

When to choose

  • you want a simple Dockerized wrapper around Nmap with CVE matching
  • you need scheduled network vulnerability scans with report output in multiple formats
  • you want scan results pushed to cloud storage buckets

When to avoid

  • you need an authenticated web application vulnerability scanner
  • you want agent-based continuous asset monitoring rather than periodic network scans
  • you need features beyond what Nmap and the vulners script provide
