These features are extensible by scripts that provide more advanced service detection, [7] vulnerability detection, [7] and other features. Nmap can adapt to network conditions including latency and congestion during a scan. Nmap started as a Linux utility [8] and was ported to other systems including Windows, macOS, and BSD. [9]
ZMap also speeds up the scanning process by sending a probe to every IP address only once by default, whereas Nmap resends a probe when it detects a connection delay or fails to get a reply. [8] This results in about 2% of IP addresses being missed during a typical scan, but when processing billions of IP address, or potential IoT devices being ...
Network enumeration is the discovery of hosts or devices on a network. Network enumeration tends to use overt discovery protocols such as ICMP and SNMP to gather information. It may also scan various ports on remote hosts for looking for well known services in an attempt to further identify the function of a remote host.
hping is an open-source packet generator and analyzer for the TCP/IP protocol created by Salvatore Sanfilippo (also known as Antirez). It is one of the common tools used for security auditing and testing of firewalls and networks, and was used to exploit the idle scan scanning technique (also invented by the hping author), and now implemented in the Nmap Security Scanner.
Troubleshoot performance problems by monitoring network data from an application; Serve as the primary data source for day-to-day network monitoring and management; Spy on other network users and collect sensitive information such as login details or users cookies (depending on any content encryption methods that may be in use)
Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing, formerly known as BackTrack. [2]Parrot Security OS is a cloud-oriented Linux distribution based on Debian and designed to perform security and penetration tests, do forensic analysis, or act in anonymity.
WiFi Explorer is a wireless network scanner tool for macOS that can help users identify channel conflicts, overlapping and network configuration issues [1] [2] [3] that may be affecting the connectivity and performance of Wi-Fi networks.
SuperScan is a free connect-based port scanning software designed to detect open TCP and UDP ports on a target computer, determine which services are running on those ports, and run queries such as whois, ping, ICMP traceroute, and Hostname lookups.
