What is Nmap?
Network Mapped (Nmap) is a network scanning and host detection tool that is very useful during several steps of penetration testing. Nmap is not limited to merely gathering information and enumeration, but it is also powerful utility that can be used as a vulnerability detector or a security scanner.
What can Nmap does?
- Detect the live host on the network (host discovery)
- Detect the open ports on the host (port discovery or enumeration)
- Detect the software and the version to the respective port (service discovery)
- Detect the operating system, hardware address, and the software version
- Detect the vulnerability and security holes (Nmap scripts)
