The best hacking tool you will ever need!
Overall Satisfaction with Nmap
We use Nmap to both scan our network from time to time as well as to validate scan results from other platforms such as Nessus or Nexpose. One of the perks of NMAP is the built-in scrips that not only will look for weaknesses but also validate them by performing the exploit to see if the vulnerability can be exploited or not.
Pros
- Very user-intuitive.
- Built-in scripts allow for vulnerability testing.
Cons
- Better GUI for ZenMap.
- Can be difficult to learn and master.
- It is open-sourced and widely available.
- However, learning and training can be difficult since there is no support.
While mainly a CLI tool, there is an unofficial GUI. This can help the learning curve but unlike Nessus and Nexpose where there is a well-made user interface, with NMAP you need to really leverage the CLI for the power behind it. When it comes to modules being community-driven however; NMAP normally has the latest exploits before commercial products receive them.
