👮‍♂️1.NMAP

Nmap is a tool used for network mapping and it is one of the most popular ethical hacking tools in the market. Nmap is used to discover free networks around you. Network administrators find Nmap very useful as they always need to map their networks.

Nmap is a short form of Network Mapper and it’s an open-source tool that is used for mapping networks, auditing and security scanning of the networks.

Features of Nmap

• OS Detection: OS scanning can be done in Nmap that detects the OS, version of the OS, and other details about it.

• Service Detection: The several service probs found in the Nmap-services-probe-file are used to get the responses from network services and their applications.

• Host discovery: This method is used by network hosts to gather data about other hosts in the network by the use of TCP and UDP protocols.

• Target Specification: The target specification feature can be used to specify a Target IP address that you want to scan in Nmap.

• IPv6 Support: IPv6 means Internet Protocol version 6 and it can be used in Nmap for scanning the network. As IPv6 is capable of scanning larger addresses than IPv4, it makes scanning through CIDR-style scanning ranges that make it idle for scanning larger addresses.

• NSE Functionality: NSE stands for Nmap Scripting Engine and it comes in Nmap functionality that you can use for host discovery, network scanning, and target specification.

• TLS/SSL scanning: The TLS deployment problems can be analyzed fastly with the help of Nmap.
