Network Connectivity Check

Diagnose network connectivity to hosts or IPs. Validates deploy_to_ephemeral and security_audit.

Inputs

Workflow

1. Load Persona

• •persona_load("devops")

2. Check Known Issues

• •check_known_issues("nmap", "")
• •check_known_issues("network", "")
• •check_known_issues("vpn", "")

3. System Identity

• •hostnamectl_status() — local system identity

4. Ping / Discovery

• •nmap_ping_scan(target="{{ first_target }}") — host reachability
• •nmap_list_scan(target="{{ first_target }}") — DNS resolution
• •nmap_quick_scan(target="{{ first_target }}") — port scan

5. HTTP Checks

• •curl_get(url="https://{{ first_target }}")
• •curl_timing(url="https://{{ first_target }}")
• •curl_headers(url="https://{{ first_target }}")

6. SSH Check

• •ssh_test(host="{{ first_target }}")
• •ssh_keyscan(host="{{ first_target }}")

7. TLS Check

• •openssl_s_client(host="{{ first_target }}")

8. Analyze Results

• •Ping: "host is up" or "1 host up" → reachable
• •HTTP: status 200–499 → ok
• •SSH: "connected" → available
• •TLS: "verify return code: 0" → secure
• •Latency: parse total from curl_timing

9. Failure Learning

• •"no route to host" → learn_tool_fix("nmap_ping_scan", "no route to host", "Target unreachable - VPN may be required", "Run vpn_connect()")
• •"could not resolve" → learn_tool_fix("curl_get", "could not resolve", "DNS resolution failed", "Check DNS and hostname")

10. Memory

• •memory_session_log("Network connectivity check on {{ targets }}", "passed=X/Y, latency=Zs")

Error Recovery

Output

Report: connectivity summary (ping, http, ssh, tls), latency, host discovery, port scan, SSH keyscan, known issues.
