Nmap 4.53 ( http://insecure.org ) 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 -PN: 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 -PO [protocol list]: IP Protocol Ping -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 -sU: UDP Scan -sN/sF/sX: TCP Null, FIN, and Xmas scans --scanflags : Customize TCP scan flags -sI : Idle scan -sO: IP protocol scan -b : FTP bounce scan --traceroute: Trace hop path to each host --reason: Display the reason a port is in a particular state 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 mode - Scan fewer ports than the default scan -r: Scan ports consecutively - don't randomize --top-ports : Scan most common ports --port-ratio : Scan ports more common than SERVICE/VERSION DETECTION: -sV: Probe open ports to determine service/version info --version-intensity : Set from 0 (light) to 9 (try all probes) --version-light: Limit to most likely probes (intensity 2) --version-all: Try every single probe (intensity 9) --version-trace: Show detailed version scan activity (for debugging) SCRIPT SCAN: -sC: equivalent to --script=safe,intrusive --script=: is a comma separated list of directories, script-files or script-categories --script-args=: provide arguments to scripts --script-trace: Show all data sent and received --script-updatedb: Update the script database. OS DETECTION: -O: Enable OS detection --osscan-limit: Limit OS detection to promising targets --osscan-guess: Guess OS more aggressively TIMING AND PERFORMANCE: Options which take are in milliseconds, unless you append 's' (seconds), 'm' (minutes), or 'h' (hours) to the value (e.g. 30m). -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 --ip-options : Send packets with specified ip options --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| and Grepable format, respectively, to the given filename. -oA : 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) --open: Only show open (or possibly open) ports --packet-trace: Show all packets sent and received --iflist: Print host interfaces and routes (for debugging) --log-errors: Log errors/warnings to the normal-format output file --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, Script scanning and Traceroute --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 --unprivileged: Assume the user lacks raw socket privileges -V: Print version number -h: Print this help summary page.
