About termmap

termmap exists because nmap's most common scans are always the same eight commands, and typing them from memory on a remote server is a bad habit.

Why it exists

Zenmap was the graphical answer and it is dormant. Browser wrappers want a server and a database. The scans people actually repeat fit on one toolbar, and the machines that run them are usually reached over SSH.

How it works

termmap builds an nmap command line, runs it, and streams stdout and stderr into a scrollable window. It does not parse the results and it does not store them. The command is printed above its own output, so nothing about the scan is hidden.

Who makes it

Written by Eelke Greven. Contact: computerproblematiek@gmail.com. Version 0.1, first public release 2026-10-22, tested on Linux with Python 3.6+ and nmap 7.x.

License

termmap is released under the MIT license. In short:

• Use it for anything, including at work.
• Modify it and keep your changes private.

nmap is a separate program under the Nmap Public Source License and is not bundled or modified.

Privacy

The program makes no network connections apart from the scans you start.

No telemetry, no account, no licence key, no server. No database: output is nmap's, saved only on request. No third-party ad networks on this site; the only analytics are cookieless and aggregate (Umami, self-hosted).
