Natlas – Scaling Network Scanning

You’ve got a lot of maps and they are getting pretty unruly. What do you do? You put them in a book and call it an atlas. This is like that, except it’s a website and it’s a collection of nmaps. The Natlas server doubles as a task manager for the agents to get work, allowing you to control the scanning scope in one centralized place.

Getting Started
To get started with your own deployment of Natlas, you’re going to need a minimum of one server and one agent. The quickest way to accomplish this is to run an agent on the same host as the server. Installation instructions for the server and the agent are linked below in their associated readmes.
To begin with natlas:

$ cd /opt
$ git clone https://github.com/natlas/natlas.git
$ cd natlas

Alternatively, please download the respective tarballs from natlas/releases.
Once you’ve got the code in /opt/natlas, please continue to setup either the server, the agent, or both, depending on your use case.

natlas-server
The natlas-server is where the data gets stored and the web interface exists so that you can search through the data.
You can read more about setting up and running the server on the natlas-server/README.md

natlas-agent
The natlas-agent is what fetches work from the server and actually performs the scans.
You can read more about setting up and running the agent on the natlas-agent/README.md
