Where are the scan results stored?

Results are automatically saved to a structured './nmap-output/' directory in normal, XML, and grepable formats for easy analysis and third-party tool integration.

Does this skill require root/sudo access?

Yes, certain high-performance scans like SYN stealth scans (-sS) and OS detection require sudo privileges to manipulate raw packets effectively.

What is the benefit of the two-phase scanning strategy?

It provides the best balance of speed and depth by quickly identifying all open ports first, then running detailed (and slower) service detection only on confirmed open ports.

Can I use this for IoT-specific devices?

Absolutely. This skill includes specialized NSE script guidance for protocols like RTSP, MQTT, and ONVIF commonly found in IoT hardware and IP cameras.
