Tsunami is a general-purpose network security scanner with an extensible plugin system.
It focuses on detecting high-severity vulnerabilities with high confidence by combining reconnaissance, service fingerprinting, and targeted vulnerability verification.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Identifies open ports, protocols, network services, and software.
- Fingerprints exposed services to gather detailed information about scan targets.
- Verifies vulnerabilities using dedicated detection plugins.
- Automatically selects detectors relevant to discovered services and software.
- Runs vulnerability verification plugins in parallel.
- Extensible architecture supporting port scanners, fingerprinters, and vulnerability detectors.
- Can integrate existing tools such as Nmap and Masscan.
- Supports detectors implemented in Java or as external binaries and scripts.
