Basic Scanning Examples¶

Learn RedQuanta MCP fundamentals with practical, real-world scanning examples.

🎯 Prerequisites¶

Legal Authorization Required

⚠️ Only scan systems you own or have explicit written permission to test

🔍 Network Discovery Examples¶

Example 1: Basic Host Discovery¶

# Discover live hosts on local network
node dist/cli.js scan 192.168.1.0/24 --discovery-only

# REST API equivalent
curl -X POST http://localhost:5891/tools/nmap_scan \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"target": "192.168.1.0/24", "scanType": "ping"}'

Example 2: Port Scanning¶

# Scan most common 1000 ports
node dist/cli.js scan scanme.nmap.org --ports top-1000

# Service detection
curl -X POST http://localhost:5891/tools/nmap_scan \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "target": "scanme.nmap.org",
    "ports": "top-100",
    "options": {
      "serviceDetection": true,
      "versionDetection": true
    }
  }'

🌐 Web Application Scanning¶

Example 3: Directory Discovery¶

# Basic directory enumeration
node dist/cli.js tools ffuf_fuzz \
  --url "https://httpbin.org/FUZZ" \
  --wordlist "common_directories" \
  --threads 20

Example 4: Vulnerability Scanning¶

# Web vulnerability assessment
node dist/cli.js tools nikto_scan \
  --target "https://httpbin.org" \
  --ssl

🔄 Automated Workflows¶

Example 5: Complete Enumeration¶

# Comprehensive reconnaissance
node dist/cli.js enum example.com \
  --scope "comprehensive" \
  --depth "normal" \
  --coaching "beginner"

Example 6: Vulnerability Assessment¶

# Complete security assessment
node dist/cli.js scan webapp.example.com \
  --scope "application" \
  --depth "comprehensive"
