Tsunami is a general-purpose network security scanner from Google that detects high-severity vulnerabilities with high confidence. It relies on an extensible plugin system, with publicly available plugins hosted in a companion repository.
Use cases
- scan my network for high severity vulnerabilities
- detect vulnerable services on my infrastructure
- find exposed services with known CVEs
- run a plugin-based security scanner on my servers
- audit internal network for misconfigured services
When to choose
- you need high-confidence detection of high-severity vulnerabilities rather than noisy broad scans
- you want an extensible scanner you can add custom detection plugins to
- you are scanning large internal or cloud networks for known vulnerable services
When to avoid
- you need a full penetration testing or exploitation framework
- you want a lightweight point-and-click desktop scanner
- you need web application DAST with crawling and fuzzing out of the box
