The problem is that to be able to implement tools like that, the browser 
would need to offer access to the local network at a level that would be 
a serious security risk.  While nmap and netcat/socat can be great for 
development and troubleshooting, they are also great for an intruder's 
recon efforts to prepare further intrusions.  8-|  Do you want ad
