Nmap 3.96BETA3 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Usage: nmap [Scan Type(s)] [Options] {target specification} TARGET SPECIFICATION: Can pass hostnames, IP addresses, networks, etc. Ex: scanme.nmap.org, microsoft.com/24, 192.168.0.1; 10.0.0-255.1-254 -iL : Input from list of hosts/networks -iR : Choose random targets --exclude : Exclude hosts/networks --excludefile : Exclude list from file HOST DISCOVERY: -sL: List Scan - simply list targets to scan -sP: Ping Scan - go no further than determining if host is online -P0: Treat all hosts as online -- skip host discovery -PS/PA/PU [portlist]: TCP SYN/ACK or UDP discovery to given ports -PE/PP/PM: ICMP echo, timestamp, and netmask request discovery probes -n/-R: Never do DNS resolution/Always resolve [default: sometimes] --dns_servers : Specify custom DNS servers --system_dns: Use OS's DNS resolver SCAN TECHNIQUES: -sS/sT/sA/sW/sM: TCP SYN/Connect()/ACK/Window/Maimon scans -sN/sF/sX: TCP Null, FIN, and Xmas scans --scanflags : Customize TCP scan flags -sI : Idlescan -sO: IP protocol scan -b : FTP bounce scan PORT SPECIFICATION AND SCAN ORDER: -p : Only scan specified ports Ex: -p22; -p1-65535; -p U:53,111,137,T:21-25,80,139,8080 -F: Fast - Scan only the ports listed in the nmap-services file) -r: Scan ports consecutively - don't randomize SERVICE/VERSION DETECTION: -sV: Probe open ports to determine service/version info --version_light: Limit to most likely probes for faster identification --version_all: Try every single probe for version detection --version_trace: Show detailed version scan activity (for debugging) OS DETECTION: -O: Enable OS detection --osscan_limit: Limit OS detection to promising targets --osscan_guess: Guess OS more aggressively TIMING AND PERFORMANCE: -T[0-5]: Set timing template (higher is faster) --min_hostgroup/max_hostgroup : Parallel host scan group sizes --min_parallelism/max_parallelism : Probe parallelization --min_rtt_timeout/max_rtt_timeout/initial_rtt_timeout : Specifies probe round trip time. --max_retries : Caps number of port scan probe retransmissions. --host_timeout : Give up on target after this long --scan_delay/--max_scan_delay : Adjust delay between probes FIREWALL/IDS EVASION AND SPOOFING: -f; --mtu : fragment packets (optionally w/given MTU) -D : Cloak a scan with decoys -S : Spoof source address -e : Use specified interface -g/--source_port : Use given port number --data_length : Append random data to sent packets --ttl : Set IP time-to-live field --spoof_mac : Spoof your MAC address --badsum: Send packets with a bogus TCP/UDP checksum OUTPUT: -oN/-oX/-oS/-oG : Output scan in normal, XML, s|: Output in the three major formats at once -v: Increase verbosity level (use twice for more effect) -d[level]: Set or increase debugging level (Up to 9 is meaningful) --packet_trace: Show all packets sent and received --iflist: Print host interfaces and routes (for debugging) --append_output: Append to rather than clobber specified output files --resume : Resume an aborted scan --stylesheet : XSL stylesheet to transform XML output to HTML --webxml: Reference stylesheet from Insecure.Org for more portable XML --no_stylesheet: Prevent associating of XSL stylesheet w/XML output MISC: -6: Enable IPv6 scanning -A: Enables OS detection and Version detection --datadir : Specify custom Nmap data file location --send_eth/--send_ip: Send using raw ethernet frames or IP packets --privileged: Assume that the user is fully privileged -V: Print version number -h: Print this help summary page.
