ScanSearch
ScanSearch is a cloud service for on-demand network exposure checks. It runs live SYN scans and detects services on specified targets, which can be IP addresses, CIDR or country ranges, ASNs, or resolved domains. Its Nmap-based engine identifies software, versions, and protocols from more than 12,000 signatures covering over 1,200 services. Depending on enabled modules, results can add TLS/SSL details, HTTP security headers, geolocation, technology stack information, and CVE matches. Results appear in a live dashboard and can be exported as TXT, JSON, or CSV. The REST API supports JSON, webhooks, batch operations, and an official Python SDK and CLI. Separate tools automate Google dork queries and monitor attack surfaces with scheduled scans, change tracking, dashboards, and alerts. Scan data is retained for 7 days on free accounts and 90 days on paid accounts. ScanSearch requires permission for every target and describes its use as authorized security testing, network administration, and research. A free plan and trial are available; the listed paid Internet Scanner plan costs $0.30 a month, billed per kpps/month.
