Nmap
Nmap
(Network Mapper) is a security scanner that can be used to discover hosts and services on a computer or computer network. Includes at least nmap and nping binaries.
Basic nmap commands
- Basic nmap host scan:
nmap -nP HOSTNAME_TO_SCAN
nmap -nP HOSTNAME_TO_SCAN -p 80,443
nmap HOSTNAME_TO_SCAN
- Basic nmap network scan:
nmap -sn 192.168.0.*
(-sn - ping scan so No/disable port scan)
-sn: Ping scan so disable port scan
- OS detection:
nmap -O IP
- -sP TODO
Basic nping commands
nping is packet generation, response analysis and response time measurement available since 2011 and developed by nmap developers
- "TCP ping":
nping -H -tr 8.8.8.8
(-H Hide-sent do not display sent packets, -tr traceroute)
Banner Grabbing
nmap -sV --version-intensity 5 godaddy.com -p 80
The -sV option lets us fetch the software versions, and by adding –version-intensity 5, we can get the maximum number of possible details about the remote running software.
By using the powerful NSE we can also try other scripts that will help us fetch remote banners easily:
nmap -sV --script=banner IP
