Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free open source utility for network exploration
|
|
or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks,
|
|
although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap uses raw IP packets in
|
|
novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services
|
|
(application name and version) they are offering, what operating system (and
|
|
OS version) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in
|
|
use, and dozens of other characteristics.
