What is Nmap?

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a powerful and widely used open-source network scanning tool used for network exploration, security auditing, and vulnerability assessment. Nmap’s capabilities encompass host discovery, revealing the presence of devices, unveiling open ports, discerning operating systems, and scrutinizing the network services running on these systems. It offers a range of scanning techniques, such as TCP SYN scan, TCP connect scan, UDP scan, and others. It provides detailed information about network devices, including their IP addresses, MAC addresses, and other relevant data. Network administrators, security experts, and ethical hackers all rely on Nmap for meticulous network mapping and security.
