Nmap (\"Network Mapper\") is a free and open source (license) utility for
|
|
network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network
|
|
administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory,
|
|
managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime.
|
|
Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available
|
|
on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are
|
|
offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what
|
|
type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other
|
|
characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works
|
|
fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating
|
|
systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and
|
|
Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap
|
|
suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data
|
|
transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing
|
|
scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool
|
|
(Nping).
