 ====== Nmap ======
-**Nmap** (**N**etwork **Map**per) is a cross-platform command-line //port scanner//. It identifies which ports are open on a networked computer, which in turn can help identify what services are running on that computer. This is useful to both sysadmins and hackers alike for discovering potential exploitable vulnerabilities. Its ability to scan entire networks is very useful when combined with [[tools:whois|WHOIS]] information about organizations you may be targeting.

 Nmap isn't limited to just scanning for open ports. It also features such abilities as host discovery, service and operating system detection, version identification, and more.
