Description

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a free and open source network scanner used to discover hosts and services on a computer network, by sending packets and analyzing the responses. It is used to identify active hosts on a network, find open ports and services, detect security risks and vulnerabilities, and more. It is a command-line tool used in network exploration and security auditing. Nmap allows system administrators to quickly and easily pinpoint active hosts, detect services running on them, identify the operating systems they are running, and discover any security risks or vulnerabilities that they may have. It is also used to perform network inventory, as well as network mapping and scanning. Nmap can be used to map large networks, detect intruders, and perform vulnerability scans. It can be used to scan single hosts or entire networks, and can be used to detect open ports and services, as well as vulnerabilities.
