The lack of response could also mean that a packet filter dropped the probe or any response it elicited. So Nmap does not know for sure whether the port is open or being filtered. This state is used when Nmap is unable to determine whether a port is closed or filtered. It is only used for the IP ID idle scan. It helps people remember the most common options, but is no substitute for the in-depth documentation in the rest of this manual.

Network administrators use Nmap to identify what devices are running on their systems, discovering hosts that are available and the services they offer, finding open ports and detecting security risks.
Nmap can be used to monitor single hosts as well as vast networks that encompass hundreds of thousands of devices and multitudes of subnets. Though Nmap has evolved over the years and is extremely flexible, at heart it's a port-scan tool, gathering information by sending raw packets to system ports. It listens for responses and determines whether ports are open, closed or filtered in some way by, for example, a firewall.
Other terms used for port scanning include port discovery or enumeration. Since its release in , Nmap has evolved but the basis of its functionality is still port scanning. The packets that Nmap sends out return with IP addresses and a wealth of other data, allowing you to identify all sorts of network attributes, giving you a profile or map of the network and allowing you to create a hardware and software inventory. Different protocols use different types of packet structures.
The various protocols serve different purposes and system ports. For example, the low resource overhead of UDP is suited for real-time streaming video, where you sacrifice some lost packets in return for speed, while non-real time streaming videos in YouTube are buffered and use the slower, albeit more reliable TCP.
Along with its many other features, Nmap fundamental port scanning and packet-capture capabilities are constantly being enhanced. We have done eight releases of Npcap this year. It's been extended with C, Perl and Python. Creator Gordon Lyon had adopted the pseudonym Fyodor Vaskovitch, which he picked up after reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground, and still uses the handle Fyodor in his work on Nmap.
Over the years, Nmap has benefited from the contributions of a growing community of aficionados and developers, and it's now downloaded thousands of times a day. While Nmap man pages are well-written and provide many examples, there are specific things you won't find in the man pages.
For example, what if we wanted to store IP addresses from the above output to a file? This is something specific and does not belong in the man pages of Nmap. We have to parse the output ourselves and extract IP addresses only. Nmap has the option to scan specific ports on specific targets. If we were interested in checking the state of ports 22 and which by default use the TCP protocol , we'd run the following:.
The above command displays the ports regardless of their state: open, closed, filtered, etc. Most of the time, we're interested in open ports, and so we can add the —open flag to achieve this. We'll slightly modify the above command and run:. Instead of using a comma to specify a port, it is also possible to use a range of ports, which is much more flexible and easier to read. For example:. Check out the Linux networking cheat sheet.
Now we know the basics of Nmap and its capabilities. Let's move to a more advanced approach to scanning targets, getting more information from a target, and using packet-tracing. At the moment of writing, I am connected to my server via SSH. To demonstrate how packet tracing is done using Nmap and what the output of such a trace looks like we are going to use the following Nmap syntax to produce the following output:.
Let's see if we can gather some information about a specific network and remain anonymous. The anonymous part is because we'll use public DNS servers, namely 8. First, we resolve redhat.
