About
Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source (license) utility for network exploration or security auditing that permits to query open port
Management
Installation
- Linux
apt-get install nmap
- Windows. Download the msi package
scan a computer to see the open port ?
nmap -v -A scanme.nmap.org
scan a network ?
From ZenMap, choose the scan that you want to perform and change the value of <target> by for instance for a 255.255.255.0 subnetmask 192.168.1.1/24 and click on the scan button.
define the port
You define the port with the p verbose.
For example, the argument -p U:53,111,137,T:21-25,80,139,8080 would scan:
- UDP ports 53, 111,and 137,
- the TCP ports 21 to 25 and the listed one 80, 139, 8080
Example with the port:
- http 80,
- https 443,
- oracle listener 1521
- and Obiee Presentation Service 9704
nmap -Pn -p T:80,443,1521,9704 sz0057.app.gen.local
# for ipv6, you need to add the 6 property and the target (as name or ip)
nmap -6 2a09:8280:1::42:92ef
where:
- Pn threat the machine as up (in case of no ping is possible)
- p defines the port
