Introduction:-

Nmap stands for Network Mapper. It is a free and open source for endangered scanning and network discovery. Network managers use Nmap to know what devices are running on their systems, discovering hosts that are available and the services they offer, finding open ports and detecting security risks. Nmap can be used to find live hosts on a network, perform port scanning, ping sweeps, detecting OS , and version detection.It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer OS versions , and both console and graphical versions are also availableHackers can use nmap to gain access to uncontrolled ports on a system.

How to install Nmap on Windows:

Note:- Nmap is officially supported for Windows 7 and newer windows like windows10, windows 8, etc. . However, the Windows port is not quite as systematic  as on Linux. 

To install Nmap on your windows follow these steps:

1.Browse to https://nmap.org/download.html and download the latest verson of self-installer.

Browse will look like this

2. Run the downloaded .exe file. In the window that opens, accept the license terms:

3. Choose the components to install. By default, the Zenmap GUI will be installed:

4. Select the install location and click Install:

 Use of Nmap:

Nmap can be used by hackers to get access to uncontrolled ports on a system.  All the hacker would need to do to successfully get into a targeted system would be to run Nmap on that system, look for vulnerabilities, and figure out how to exploit them. Knowing the services and the specific version of those services running on a port is costly and valuable information to a hacker.Nmap can be detected by using  Log monitoring tools such as Logwatch and Swatch, but the reality is that system logs are only slightly effective at detecting Nmap uses. Special purpose port scan detectors are a more usable approach to detecting Nmap activity. Two common examples are PortSentry and Scanlogd.

Here are some commands that you can use in Nmap:-

#  To run a ping scan, run the following command:

*  nmap -sp 192.100.1.1/24

#  To run a host scan, run the following command:

*  nmap -sp <target IP range>

#  To run an OS scan

*  nmap -O <target IP>

#  To scan top ports on system

*  nmap --top-ports 20 192.168.1.106

Note:-  Replace 20 with respective number of posts that you wanna scan.
