IMPLEMENTATION OF NMAP TOOL

AIM:

To implement the Nmap tool to sniff a network and audit the security of a system.

DEFINITION:

Nmap (Network Mapper) is an open-source network scanning tool used to discover hosts and

services on a network and assess their security.

Algorithm:

1. Install Nmap: Ensure Nmap is installed on the system.

Command:

sudo apt install nmap

2. Define Target: Specify the target IP or subnet to scan.

3. Execute Nmap Commands: Use Nmap commands to perform different types of scans. Examples:

- Ping Scan: To check live hosts.

Command: nmap -sn <target_ip>

- Port Scan: To check open ports on the target system.

Command: nmap -p 1-65535 <target_ip>

- Service Version Detection: To identify software versions on open ports.

Command: nmap -sV <target_ip>

- Vulnerability Scan: To check for common vulnerabilities.

Command: nmap --script vuln <target_ip>

Additional Nmap Commands:

1. Verbose Mode: Display detailed output during scanning.


Command: nmap -v <target_ip>

2. OS Detection: Identify the operating system running on the target host.

Command: nmap -O <target_ip>

3. Aggressive Scan: Perform an all-in-one scan (OS detection, version detection, etc.).

Command: nmap -A <target_ip>

4. Save Output to a File: Save scan results for documentation.

Command: nmap -oN [Link] <target_ip>

5. Scan for Specific Ports: Scan specific ports instead of the entire range.

Command: nmap -p 22,80,443 <target_ip>

OUTPUT:

Starting Nmap 7.94 ( [Link] ) at 2025-02-12 14:00 UTC

Nmap scan report for [Link]

Host is up (0.0030s latency)

Not shown: 999 filtered ports

PORT STATE SERVICE

80/tcp open http

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.42 seconds

CONCLUSION:

Hence, the Nmap tool to sniff a network and audit the security of a system is performed

successfully.
