NMAP Host Discovery (FOR NOOBS)

Follow
Destination Pentester

This video covers host discovery using nmap, particularly the sn switch. Using nmap we discover hosts alive in the network and then we use wireshark to examine the packets sent and received while running the tool as an unprivileged user, and as a privileged user. It's pretty neat, hope you enjoy it.

Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is an open source tool for network exploration and security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. While Nmap is commonly used for security audits, many systems and network administrators find it useful for routine tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime.
