- New scan mode: masscan+nuclei — masscan finds open ip:port pairs,
nuclei runs operator-supplied CVE template against discovered hosts
- Per-country vulnerable host count in merge output via CIDR→country lookup
- Tuning args on every scan: --nmap-timing, --nmap-timeout, --nmap-workers,
--nuclei-rate, --nuclei-concurrency, --nuclei-timeout, --masscan-rate
- Vars file support: operator provides scan_vars.yaml to pre-fill all
tuning settings without interactive prompts
- Templates copied to nodes at provision time — no live fetches (OPSEC)
- run_scan.yml passes all tuning args with Ansible defaults as fallback
- configure_node.yml installs nuclei binary + uploads template on demand
- Updated deployment summary shows mode-specific tuning params
- countries-format.md and targets-format.md updated for new capabilities
- scan_vars.yaml.example documents all configurable settings with comments
estimate_scan_hours() was pure masscan math — zero nmap time modeled.
For masscan+nmap and geo-scout modes with 10K masscan hits, actual nmap
time dominates but was completely invisible in the estimate.
Added nmap phase calculation using empirical constants:
- NMAP_TIME_PER_HOST_SEC = 10 (nmap -sV -T4 per host)
- MASSCAN_HIT_RATE = 0.01 (fraction of IPs with open ports)
- _NMAP_WORKERS = 10 (matches WEBRUNNER_NMAP_WORKERS default)
Also fixed build_estimate_table() partial-chunk overestimation: last
chunk was billed at full preset size regardless of actual IP count,
causing 1.5-2x cost inflation for non-aligned scan ranges.
- Tor choice now appears before the estimate table so the displayed time/cost is accurate
- build_estimate_table accepts use_tor; applies 0.2x rate multiplier for nmap/probe modes
- masscan-only excluded from multiplier (masscan bypasses proxychains via raw sockets)
- Added per-mode warnings explaining which traffic actually routes through Tor
Multi-provider (Linode/AWS/FlokiNET) scan orchestration:
- Flatten all country CIDRs, chunk by IP count (sprint/balanced/economy presets)
- Assign chunks round-robin across providers
- Cost+time estimate table before deploy
- Ansible provisions N nodes in parallel, runs masscan/nmap/probe per node
- Results fetched back and merged into unified JSON report
- Scanner IPs logged per engagement for client IR reporting
- Operator IP whitelisting, enhanced OPSEC mode, YAML targets.yaml support
