What is Chaos-Org Scanner?

Chaos-Org Scanner — Python-based network scanning and security assessment tool running in Termux

Chaos-Org Scanner is a powerful Python-based network scanning tool designed for cybersecurity enthusiasts, students, and IT professionals. It provides a clean command-line interface for gathering network information and performing security assessments in authorized environments.

Built with ease of use in mind, the scanner helps users quickly get up and running with minimal setup — install the dependencies, run the installer, and you're scanning. No complex configuration required.

What you get
A fully self-contained Python network scanner with a simple CLI — designed to run directly on Android via Termux. Ideal for learning networking fundamentals, practicing security assessments, and quickly enumerating hosts in authorized environments.
Authorized use only
Chaos-Org Scanner is intended for authorized security testing and educational use only. Only scan networks and systems you own or have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorized scanning is illegal in most jurisdictions.
02

Getting Termux

Chaos-Org Scanner runs inside Termux on Android. You need to install Termux first before proceeding. The official builds from GitHub or F-Droid are the only recommended sources — they are fully featured and actively maintained. The Play Store version is outdated and restricted.

Do not mix sources
GitHub, F-Droid, and the Play Store each sign Termux with a different certificate key. Installing from one source and updating from another will fail with INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE. Pick one source and always update from the same place.
Enable Unknown Sources
Since you're installing an APK outside the Play Store, go to Android Settings → Apps → Special App Access → Install Unknown Apps and enable it for your browser or file manager.
03

Update Termux

Open Termux after installing it. Before doing anything else, update the package manager and upgrade all base packages. This ensures the installer has access to the latest Python runtime and dependencies.

bash
$ pkg update && pkg upgrade -y

If prompted to replace any config files, press N to keep the existing version. The upgrade may take a few minutes depending on your connection speed.

Install Required Packages

Chaos-Org Scanner is delivered as a zip archive. You need wget to download it and unzip to extract it. Install both now.

Step 1 — Install wget:

bash
$ pkg install wget

Step 2 — Install unzip:

bash
$ pkg install unzip -y
What each package does
PackagePurpose
wgetDownloads the scanner zip archive from the Chaos Configurations server
unzipExtracts the downloaded zip archive into the working directory
05

Download the Scanner

With wget installed, download the Chaos-Org Scanner zip archive directly from the Chaos Configurations server.

bash
$ wget "https://chaosconfigurations.co.za/chaos%20org.zip"

The file will be saved as chaos org.zip in your current Termux working directory. The %20 in the URL is the URL-encoded space character — wget will handle this automatically.

Keep Termux open during download
Disable your screen timeout in Android Settings before running the download. If the screen sleeps and Android suspends Termux, the download will stall. Run termux-wake-lock first as an alternative.

Extract & Set Up

Create a dedicated folder for the scanner, extract the archive into it, then navigate into the directory.

Step 1 — Create the directory:

bash
$ mkdir -p chaos-org

Step 2 — Extract the archive into it:

bash
$ unzip "chaos org.zip" -d chaos-org

Step 3 — Navigate into the scanner directory:

bash
$ cd chaos-org
What each flag does
Flag / ArgPurpose
mkdir -pCreates the directory and any missing parent directories without errors if it already exists
unzip -dExtracts the archive contents into the specified destination directory
07

Install Python & Dependencies

Chaos-Org Scanner is a Python application. Install Python via pkg, then install all required Python libraries from the included requirements.txt file.

Step 1 — Install Python:

bash
$ pkg install python -y

Step 2 — Install Python package dependencies:

bash
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Make sure you're in the right directory
Both of the above commands must be run from inside the chaos-org directory where requirements.txt lives. If you see No such file or directory, run cd chaos-org first.

Run the Installer & Launch

With Python and all dependencies installed, run the setup script to finalize the installation, then launch the scanner.

Step 1 — Run the installer script:

bash
$ bash install.sh

Step 2 — Launch the scanner:

bash
$ python main.py
Shortcut launcher
If the installer created a global launcher command, you can also start the scanner at any time from any directory with just: scanner

Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to fix them.

wget: command not found
Run pkg install wget first, then retry the download command.
unzip: command not found
Run pkg install unzip -y, then retry the extraction command.
No such file or directory: requirements.txt
You're not in the right directory. Run cd chaos-org to enter the scanner folder first, then re-run pip install -r requirements.txt.
pip install fails with permission errors
Make sure you're running inside Termux's own Python environment — not a system Python. Try running pkg install python -y again to ensure Termux's Python is installed, then retry.
scanner: command not found
The launcher shortcut wasn't created. Use python main.py from inside the chaos-org directory to launch the scanner directly.
Download stalls or drops mid-way
Your screen timed out or Android suspended Termux during the download. Disable screen timeout in Settings and run termux-wake-lock before retrying.
