Nmap (Network Mapper) is a security scanner, originally written by Gordon Lyon used to discover hosts and services on a computer network, thus building a “map” of the network.
Typical uses of Nmap:
- Auditing the security of a device or firewall by identifying the network connections which can be made to, or through it.
- Identifying open ports on a target host in preparation for auditing.
- Network inventory, network mapping, maintenance and asset management.
- Auditing the security of a network by identifying new servers.
- Generating traffic to hosts on a network, response analysis and response time measurement.
- Finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in a network.
It’s an irony that in the digital world paper books are still held in incredibly high regard. Many have opinions but getting into print carries prestige. Here are the top 5 books to read this year for #Nmap lovers.
