Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks 1.6 +such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring 1.7 +host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what 1.8 +hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) 1.9 +those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are 1.10 +running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other 1.11 +characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine 1.12 +against single hosts.
