Atlas is an open-source, full-stack tool designed to scan, analyze, and visualize network infrastructures in a dynamic and containerized environment. Utilizing technologies such as Go, FastAPI, NGINX, and a custom-built React frontend, Atlas offers automated scanning, efficient storage, and engaging dashboards for deep insights into network environments.

Key Features

• Dynamic Scanning of Docker Containers: Extracts important details including IP addresses, MAC addresses, open ports, network names, and operating system types from image metadata.
• Local & Neighboring Hosts Scanning: Identifies reachable devices, retrieves OS fingerprints, MAC addresses, and open ports to construct a comprehensive map of the infrastructure.
• Real-Time Data Visualization: Features an interactive HTML dashboard hosted via NGINX and an accessible FastAPI backend for seamless data control and access, enhanced with a React frontend for dynamic network graph rendering.

Architecture Overview

• Backend:
  • The Go CLI component handles multiple functionalities, such as initializing the SQLite database, performing fast host scans, and enriching system data with deeper scans.
  • The FastAPI backend ensures efficient data access and management via dedicated API endpoints.
  • NGINX plays a vital role in serving the frontend and routing API requests to the backend.

Benefits of Using Atlas

• Speed: Fast scanning methods using ping and ARP ensure quick data collection.
• Insight: Deep port scans and OS enrichment provide valuable details about network configurations.
• Flexibility: Automated scans and manual triggers give users control over the monitoring process.
• Persistence: SQLite database ensures data is not lost between scans, providing a reliable historical view.
