Kali Linux 2025.3 has launched a groundbreaking tool, llm-tools-nmap, merging artificial intelligence with cybersecurity. This experimental plugin enhances Simon Willison’s command-line Large Language Model (LLM) by integrating the well-known Nmap security scanner for efficient network discovery and security audits through natural language commands. Users can perform various scans, including quick scans of common ports, targeted scans, and ping scans to identify live hosts. Advanced functions encompass service and operating system detection, as well as running Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) scripts for detailed vulnerability assessments. To utilize the plugin, prerequisites include Python 3.7+, Simon Willison’s LLM tool, and a functional Nmap installation. Users are cautioned about the experimental nature of these features and advised to always obtain permission before scanning networks.
