Cisco SD-WAN Exposure & Potential Vulnerability Scanner (Passive Fingerprinting) 2026
A specialized passive fingerprinting tool designed to identify internet-facing Cisco SD-WAN (vManage / Viptela) instances. This tool helps security researchers and system administrators manage their external attack surface by detecting potentially exposed management interfaces and NETCONF ports.

The scanner supports three main targeting modes:
python sdwan.py --target 203.0.113.50
python sdwan.py --cidr 203.0.113.0/24 --ports 443,830 --timeout 3
python sdwan.py --file targets.txt
| Argument | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--target | Single IP address or hostname to scan. | None |
--cidr | CIDR network range (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24). | None |
--file | Path to a file containing one IP/CIDR per line. | None |
--ports | Comma-separated list of ports to scan. | 22, 443, 830 |
--timeout | Connection timeout in seconds. | 4.0 |
--output | Filename for the JSON output report. | sdwan_scan.json |
The tool generates a JSON report containing detailed findings for each target:
[
{
"ip": "203.0.113.50",
"timestamp": "2026-03-08T09:05:13.123Z",
"open_ports": [443, 830],
"indicators": [
"Title match: vmanage",
"Cert CN: vmanage.local",
"Port 830 banner: NETCONF over SSH"
],
"confidence": "high",
"status": "POTENTIAL SD-WAN EXPOSURE"
}
]
