Installation

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/marksowell/nmap-tailwind-xsl.git

Getting Started

1. Run an Nmap Scan With XML Output

   nmap -oX scan.xml [target]
   

[!TIP]

If you have multiple XML files you can combine them

1. Install xmlstarlet (if not already installed)

   sudo apt-get install xmlstarlet
   

2. Create the Combined XML File

   echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' > combined_nmap_output.xml
   echo '<nmaprun>' >> combined_nmap_output.xml
   

3. Extract and Append Elements

   for file in *.xml; do
   # Skip the combined output file
   if [ "$file" != "combined_nmap_output.xml" ]; then
       xmlstarlet sel -t -c "/nmaprun/host" "$file" >> combined_nmap_output.xml
   fi
   done
   

4. Close the Root Tag

   echo '</nmaprun>' >> combined_nmap_output.xml
   

5. Use xmllint to Validate the Combined XML File

   xmllint combined_nmap_output.xml --noout
   

2. Use the nmap_tailwind_xsl.xsl Stylesheet to Create a HTML Report Using xsltproc

   xsltproc -o scan_report.html ./nmap-tailwind.xsl combined_nmap_output.xml
