Nmap is a utility for network exploration and security auditing.
|
|
It supports various types of host discovery (determine which hosts
|
|
are up), many port scanning techniques for different protocols,
|
|
version detection (determine service protocols and application
|
|
versions listening behind ports), and TCP/IP stack fingerprinting
|
|
(remote host OS or device identification). Nmap also offers
|
|
flexible target and port specification, decoy/stealth scanning,
|
|
sunRPC scanning, and much more.
|
|
|
|
Also included is Ncat, the nc(1) work-a-like of the Nmap project.
|
|
Refer to the separate port security/zenmap for those parts of the
|
|
Nmap toolset which depend on python. The translated manual pages
|
|
for Nmap are contained in security/nmap-i18n-man.
