samuel_trassare@13398 | 1 Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a utility for network discovery and security |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 2 auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 3 such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 4 host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 5 hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 6 those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 7 running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 8 characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine |
samuel_trassare@13398 | 9 against single hosts. |
