ABSTRACT

Now let’s make use of a tool called Nmap. As you will see, Nmap can tell us many things-or at the very least, put us in a better position than we were. As we go through Nmap you will see that I repeat some explanations of switches and parameters at various intervals. I do that for two reasons. One is so that you don’t have to search around for the explanation again. And the other is to help instill it better in your memory. First, we will put a table in place that we can use for reference:

98  ◾ 

◾ 

100 

Note the following:

◾ IP = an IP address, such as 192.168.0.3. ◾ IP1, IP2, IP3 = three IP addresses separated by commas. ◾ IP.0/24 = for example, 192.168.27.0/24, which is a class C address scheme for

192.168.27.1 up to and including 192.168.27.255. ◾ IP.1-20 = for example, 192.168.23.1-192.168.23.20; the IP portion stands for

the 192.168.23 in this example.
