What is Nmap

NMAP (Network Mapper) is a popular tool for scanning networks that is used to scan IP addresses and ports in order to obtain information about them. It was created to detect devices and services on the network.

Nmap uses a variety of scanning techniques such as port scanning, version detection, and operating system detection, making it a valuable tool for network administrators and security professionals.

You won’t believe it, but NMAP was developed by Gordon Lyon back in 1997.

Using Nmap in Termux

Now let's discuss some main NMAP teams for TermUx so that you can perform basic problems of scanning networks.

The following command will perform a basic network scan:

1	nmap target_ip

Use this type of command to scan multiple targets at once:

1	nmap целевой_ip1 target_ip2 target_ip3

Scanning only specific ports on targets:

1	nmap -p <port1,port2> target_ip

Scanning all ports for goals:

1	nmap -p- target_ip

Inclusion of the determination of the version for services in open ports:

1	nmap -sV target_ip

Determining the operating system running on the target network:

1	nmap -O target_ip

Aggressive network scanning to determine its services, OS, version and scripts:

1	nmap -A target_ip

You can use this command to save scan results in a specific file format:

1

nmap -oN

Use this command to save scan results to an XML file:

1

nmap -oX

You can use this command to find vulnerabilities in the target host:

1	nmap --script vuln

Basic Nmap commands in Termux:

nmap IP_address - basic scan

nmap IP_address1 IP_address2 ... - scanning multiple targets

nmap -p Port1,port2 IP_address - scan specific ports

nmap -p- IP_address - scan all ports

nmap -sV IP_address - version detection

nmap -O IP_address - определение ОС

nmap -A IP_address - aggressive scanning

nmap -oN file_name IP_address - output to a specific file

nmap -oX file_name.xml IP_address - output to XML

nmap --script vuln целевой_IP-address - vulnerability search
