What is NMap?


Nmap ("Network Mapper") is an open source utility for network exploration or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (ports) they are offering, what operating system (and OS version) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers, and both console and graphical versions are available. Nmap is free software, available with full source code under the terms of the GNU GPL.

Currently NMapWin is using nmap v 2.54beta36. See www.insecure.org for the latest release. In case you want to use a newer version of nmap than the one which is supplied with this distribution, get the new version from www.insecure.org and place it into the %NMAPWIN%\bin directory.
