Bug with NMAP?

[Tom Jackson <navyjax2 () aol com>]

Hi, NMap,


So I downloaded and installed NMap onto a Windows 10 environment - no "targets" populated into the dropdown in the 
provided GUI, and when I did a scan, it said a target was required.  Per your documentation, it says the loopback 
address of 127.0.0.1 is not an option from a previous known bug, so just how am I supposed to scan a network when it 
can't even detect a target to scan in the first place?  


If I put in my router's IP, it just comes back with a bunch of  port numbers with an unknown state.  A network scanner 
should bring back all of the IP addresses it is connected to.  This is a port scanner and should be advertised as such 
- this is not a network mapper., which should be able find all network objects first, then the devices connected to 
their ports.


Sincerely,
Thomas Jackson
