If http port is open then the target system is serving web pages most probably. Nmap provides the port number, state and the service that port number if associated with. It can be an ip address or a host/domain name as well. Nmap performs a scan to discover open ports on the target host. Thats the simplest command to issue with nmap. Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.87 seconds To port scan a particular host, the command would be $ nmap 192.168.1.1 # Nmap done at Sun Aug 9 15:30:59 2020 - 255 IP addresses (5 hosts up) scanned in 5.83 seconds 2. The '-T4' optiona and '-max-rtt-timeout' option is used to speed up the scanning process. The following command does a ping scan on a range of ips at faster speeds. Ok so lets move on and do more scanning with the tool. This is generally not needed and can be disabled with the -n option. When doing ping sweeps, nmap tries reverse dns resolution of the target ip addresses. So 24 means that '192.168.1' stays constant (8 bits x 3) Note : In CIDR notation the number after the forward slash indicates the bits of the ip address that stay constant from left site. The CIDR notation can also be used, for example like this 192.168.1.1/24 That's the range and can be specified by the short syntax of 192.168.1.1-255 In the above command we scan all ip addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. # Nmap done at Sun Aug 9 15:28:02 2020 - 255 IP addresses (5 hosts up) scanned in 12.63 seconds This is the first and most basic form of network scan that can be done with nmap, to detect hosts that are alive and responding on the network.

On windows nmap uses the winpcap packet driver to send raw packets. This needs root privileges on a linux system, for example ubuntu. Some nmap commands need to create raw sockets.

#REMOTE PORT SCAN INSTALL#

Install Nmap on Ubuntu $ sudo apt-get install nmap In this article we are going to learn the basics about nmap and see how it can be used to scan the network and ports. Nmap is available for all major platforms including Linux, Windows.

It is widely used as a network security tool to scan and identify vulnerabilities in a network that need to fixed. Besides port scanning there are many more things that Nmap can do like OS identification, running user scripts etc.
