# The Stall Security Recon — Network Port & Service Scanner

> The Stall Security Recon — Network Port & Service Scanner is a paid API for AI agents from the-stall.intuitek.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Performs authorized network reconnaissance (port scanning and service detection) against a specified hostname or IP address, payable in USDC via x402.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability the-stall-security-recon-network-port-service-scanner-17fdadc9
```

Example prompt: Run a quick port scan on myserver.example.com — I own it and have full authorization — and tell me which of the top 100 ports are open and what services are running.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, accountable, pay-per-use port scan with no API key setup — especially useful for one-off infrastructure audits, pre-deployment security checks, or agent-driven recon workflows. Prefer quick mode for rapid top-100 port checks; use standard mode when service version fingerprinting is needed. Requires explicit authorization certification, making it suitable for compliant, authorized-only scanning workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Target host unreachable or offline — scan returns no open ports or timeout error
- authorized field not set to 'true' — request rejected with authorization error
- Invalid or malformed hostname/IP — returns validation error
- Target blocks scan probes via firewall — may return incomplete or empty port list
- Scan timeout for slow-responding hosts — partial results or error returned

## How this service works

Domain-agnostic x402 capability chassis by IntuiTek¹. 300 AI-callable data services — pay USDC on Base mainnet. No accounts or API keys required.

## Output

Returns a list of open ports discovered on the target host, along with detected service names and version information (for standard scans). Includes host reachability status and scan metadata such as scan type used and number of ports probed.
