Overall Satisfaction with Nmap
Nmap is pivotal in anyone in the networking and security space. This works on all operating systems and is very simple, but versatile. In my area, we use this often to see what ports and protocols are being used, what are open, auditing, testing, etc. Every vulnerability tool has Nmap built into it for the product. Often, when I have minimal time or access, Nmap is very useful.
- Scanning multiple IPs for open ports
- very lightweight and not heavy
- First step in auditing, pentesting, etc.
- Bit of a learning curve
- Syntax can be confusing
- OS Independent
- Parity across systems
- versatility
- Great for compliance audits
- Open-Source and free
- Can be automated through cron jobs and such.
ZenMap is a 3rd-party UI for Nmap, so those that struggle with syntax, this is nice. Bit heavier to run and use.
