If I may, I like to poll the list what are your favorite switches when using NMAP to conduct "intensive/comprehensive" security testing. I have been using NMAP -vv -A -sS -O -p1-65535 -P0 -oX target.xml www.xxx.yyy.zzz. I find I got more information using -sS than -sT and requires short time. Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.
I quite like nmap -sO -P0 to identify live hosts: Host is down: # nmap -sO -P0 192.168.100.1 Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-03-28 09:17 BST All 256 scanned ports on 192.168.100.1 are: open|filtered Host is up: # nmap -sO -P0 192.168.100.2 Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-03-28 09:19 BST Interesting protocols on box1 (192.168.100.2): (The 253 protocols scanned but not shown below are in state: open|filtered) PROTOCOL STATE SERVICE 1 open icmp 6 open tcp 17 filtered udp Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 33.960 seconds Tim -- Tim Brown <mailto:tmb () 65535 com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
