What is Codename Sonar?

Codename Sonar is a web based reconnaissance service from Artisan Technical Computer Services, LLC, positioned for blue team work and authorised penetration testing. Users enter an IP address or web address and choose a scan profile, ranging from a ping sweep and a top 20 TCP port quick scan to intense, comprehensive, web recon, stealth and Kali recon profiles. Optional modules cover traceroute, reverse DNS, version detection, OS fingerprinting, TLS inspection, OpenVAS NVT tests, UDP probes and an analyst briefing. The Pro plan adds SIEM, CSV, PDF and STIX 2.1 exports, a watchlist and asset inventory, certificate expiry monitoring and mapping to PCI DSS 4.0, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and HIPAA. The terms of service require users to own each target or hold express, current, written authorisation to test it. An M5Stack companion device for 2.4 GHz WiFi scanning is in alpha testing.

Best for: Small security teams and consultants who want low cost, web based scans of hosts they own or are authorised to test.
