Frequently Asked Questions
What are Nmap scripts used for?
Nmap scripts, run through the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE), are used to automate advanced scanning tasks like vulnerability detection, brute force attacks, service enumeration, and malware discovery. These scripts extend Nmap’s capabilities well beyond basic port scanning, allowing for deep analysis of target systems.
Who maintains Nmap?
Nmap is maintained by Gordon “Fyodor” Lyon and the team at Insecure.Org. It’s an open-source project supported by contributions from the cybersecurity community and receives regular updates to stay effective against evolving network technologies and threats.
How do you evade firewalls with Nmap?
To evade firewalls, Nmap offers options like fragmented packets, decoy scans, using non-standard ports, or adjusting scan timing to avoid detection. Techniques such as the idle scan or null scan also reduce the chance of triggering alerts—but should only be used in ethical, authorized contexts.
Where does Nmap save scans?
By default, Nmap doesn’t automatically save scans. You can manually save results using output flags like -oN (normal), -oX (XML), or -oG (grepable), followed by a filename. This is useful for logging and later analysis, especially during larger engagements.
What does Nmap stand for?
Nmap stands for Network Mapper. It was designed to map networks by discovering hosts, open ports, services, and vulnerabilities through various scanning techniques.
