Nmap (Network Mapper) is a network scanner created by Gordon Lyon (also known by his pseudonym Fyodor Vaskovich).[4] Nmap is used to discover hosts and services on a computer network by sending packets and analyzing the responses.[5]
Nmap provides a number of features for probing computer networks, including host discovery and service and operating system detection. These features are extensible by scripts that provide more advanced service detection,[6] vulnerability detection,[6] and other features. Nmap can adapt to network conditions including latency and congestion during a scan.
Nmap started as a Linux utility[7] and was ported to other systems including Windows, macOS, and BSD.[8] It is most popular on Linux, followed by Windows.[9]
