Nmap is short for Network Mapper. It is an open source security tool for network exploration, security scanning and auditing. However, nmap command comes with lots of options that can make the utility more robust and difficult to follow for new users. The purpose of this post is to introduce a user to the nmap command line tool to scan a host and/or network, so to find out the possible vulnerable points in the hosts. You will also learn how to use Nmap for offensive and defensive purposes. Let us see some common nmap command examples.
nmap in action
What is Nmap and what is it used for?
From the man page:
Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is an open source tool for network exploration and 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 (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. While Nmap is commonly used for security audits, many systems and network administrators find it useful for routine tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime.
It was originally written by Gordon Lyon and it can answer the following questions easily:
- What computers did you find running on the local network?
- What IP addresses did you find running on the local network?
- What is the operating system of your target machine?
- Find out what ports are open on the machine that you just scanned?
- Find out if the system is infected with malware or virus.
- Search for unauthorized servers or network service on your network.
- Find and remove computers which don’t meet the organization’s minimum level of security.
Sample setup (LAB)
Port scanning may be illegal in some jurisdictions. So setup a lab as follows:
+---------+
+---------+ | Network | +--------+
| server1 |-----------+ swtich +---------|server2 |
+---------+ | (sw0) | +--------+
+----+----+
|
|
+---------+----------+
| wks01 Linux/OSX |
+--------------------+
Where,
- wks01 is your computer either running Linux/OS X or Unix like operating system. It is used for scanning your local network. The nmap command must be installed on this computer.
- server1 can be powered by Linux / Unix / MS-Windows operating systems. This is an unpatched server. Feel free to install a few services such as a web-server, file server and so on.
- server2 can be powered by Linux / Unix / MS-Windows operating systems. This is a fully patched server with firewall. Again, feel free to install few services such as a web-server, file server and so on.
- All three systems are connected via switch.
How do I install nmap?

- CentOS / RHEL: Install nmap Network Security Scanner
- OpenBSD: Install nmap Network Security Scanner
#1: Scan a single host or an IP address (IPv4)
### Scan a single ip address ###
nmap 192.168.1.1
## Scan a host name ###
nmap server1.cyberciti.biz
## Scan a host name with more info###
nmap -v server1.cyberciti.biz |
Sample outputs:
Fig.01: nmap output
#2: Scan multiple IP address or subnet (IPv4)
nmap 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 ## works with same subnet i.e. 192.168.1.0/24 nmap 192.168.1.1,2,3
You can scan a range of IP address too:
nmap 192.168.1.1-20
You can scan a range of IP address using a wildcard:
nmap 192.168.1.*
Finally, you scan an entire subnet:
nmap 192.168.1.0/24
#3: Read list of hosts/networks from a file (IPv4)
The -iL option allows you to read the list of target systems using a text file. This is useful to scan a large number of hosts/networks. Create a text file as follows:cat > /tmp/test.txt
Sample outputs:
server1.cyberciti.biz 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1/24 10.1.2.3 localhost
The syntax is:
nmap -iL /tmp/test.txt
#4: Excluding hosts/networks (IPv4)
When scanning a large number of hosts/networks you can exclude hosts from a scan:
nmap 192.168.1.0/24 --exclude 192.168.1.5 nmap 192.168.1.0/24 --exclude 192.168.1.5,192.168.1.254
OR exclude list from a file called /tmp/exclude.txt
nmap -iL /tmp/scanlist.txt --excludefile /tmp/exclude.txt
#5: Turn on OS and version detection scanning script (IPv4)
nmap -A 192.168.1.254 nmap -v -A 192.168.1.1 nmap -A -iL /tmp/scanlist.txt
#6: Find out if a host/network is protected by a firewall
nmap -sA 192.168.1.254 nmap -sA server1.cyberciti.biz
#7: Scan a host when protected by the firewall
nmap -PN 192.168.1.1 nmap -PN server1.cyberciti.biz
#8: Scan an IPv6 host/address
The -6 option enable IPv6 scanning. The syntax is:
nmap -6 IPv6-Address-Here nmap -6 server1.cyberciti.biz nmap -6 2607:f0d0:1002:51::4 nmap -v A -6 2607:f0d0:1002:51::4
#9: Scan a network and find out which servers and devices are up and running
This is known as host discovery or ping scan:
nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24
Sample outputs:
Host 192.168.1.1 is up (0.00035s latency). MAC Address: BC:AE:C5:C3:16:93 (Unknown) Host 192.168.1.2 is up (0.0038s latency). MAC Address: 74:44:01:40:57:FB (Unknown) Host 192.168.1.5 is up. Host nas03 (192.168.1.12) is up (0.0091s latency). MAC Address: 00:11:32:11:15:FC (Synology Incorporated) Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (4 hosts up) scanned in 2.80 second
#10: How do I perform a fast scan?
nmap -F 192.168.1.1
#11: Display the reason a port is in a particular state
nmap --reason 192.168.1.1 nmap --reason server1.cyberciti.biz
#12: Only show open (or possibly open) ports
nmap --open 192.168.1.1 nmap --open server1.cyberciti.biz
#13: Show all packets sent and received
nmap --packet-trace 192.168.1.1 nmap --packet-trace server1.cyberciti.biz
14#: Show host interfaces and routes
This is useful for debugging (ip command or route command or netstat command like output using nmap)
nmap --iflist

#24: Scan for IP protocol
This type of scan allows you to determine which IP protocols (TCP, ICMP, IGMP, etc.) are supported by target machines:
nmap -sO 192.168.1.1
#25: Scan a firewall for security weakness
The following scan types exploit a subtle loophole in the TCP and good for testing security of common attacks:
## TCP Null Scan to fool a firewall to generate a response ## ## Does not set any bits (TCP flag header is 0) ## nmap -sN 192.168.1.254 ## TCP Fin scan to check firewall ## ## Sets just the TCP FIN bit ## nmap -sF 192.168.1.254 ## TCP Xmas scan to check firewall ## ## Sets the FIN, PSH, and URG flags, lighting the packet up like a Christmas tree ## nmap -sX 192.168.1.254 |
See how to block Xmas packkets, syn-floods and other conman attacks with iptables.
#26: Scan a firewall for packets fragments
The -f option causes the requested scan (including ping scans) to use tiny fragmented IP packets. The idea is to split up the TCP header over
several packets to make it harder for packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and other annoyances to detect what you are doing.
nmap -f 192.168.1.1 nmap -f fw2.nixcraft.net.in nmap -f 15 fw2.nixcraft.net.in ## Set your own offset size with the --mtu option ## nmap --mtu 32 192.168.1.1
#27: Cloak a scan with decoys
The -D option it appear to the remote host that the host(s) you specify as decoys are scanning the target network too. Thus their IDS might report 5-10 port scans from unique IP addresses, but they won’t know which IP was scanning them and which were innocent decoys:
nmap -n -Ddecoy-ip1,decoy-ip2,your-own-ip,decoy-ip3,decoy-ip4 remote-host-ip nmap -n -D192.168.1.5,10.5.1.2,172.1.2.4,3.4.2.1 192.168.1.5
#28: Scan a firewall for MAC address spoofing
### Spoof your MAC address ## nmap --spoof-mac MAC-ADDRESS-HERE 192.168.1.1 ### Add other options ### nmap -v -sT -PN --spoof-mac MAC-ADDRESS-HERE 192.168.1.1 ### Use a random MAC address ### ### The number 0, means nmap chooses a completely random MAC address ### nmap -v -sT -PN --spoof-mac 0 192.168.1.1 |
#29: How do I save output to a text file?
The syntax is:

Try zenmap the official network mapper front end:
Zenmap is the official Nmap Security Scanner GUI. It is a multi-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, BSD, etc.) free and open source application which aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while providing advanced features for experienced Nmap users. Frequently used scans can be saved as profiles to make them easy to run repeatedly. A command creator allows interactive creation of Nmap command lines. Scan results can be saved and viewed later. Saved scan results can be compared with one another to see how they differ. The results of recent scans are stored in a searchable database.
You can install zenmap using the following apt-get command:$ sudo apt-get install zenmap
