The most simplest nmap examples is to scan a single machine. For example:

### Scan a single ip address ###
nmap 192.168.1.1
 
## Scan a host name ###
nmap server1.cyberciti.biz
 
## Scan a host name with more info###
nmap -v server1.cyberciti.biz

To top

In this nmap example we are going to scan many IP address or CIDR. For instance:

# Nmap scan network example #
nmap 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3
## works with same subnet i.e. 192.168.1.0/24 
nmap 192.168.1.1,2,3

You can scan a range of IP address too:

nmap 192.168.1.1-20

You can scan a range of IP address using a wildcard:

nmap 192.168.1.*

Finally, you scan an entire subnet:

nmap 192.168.1.0/24

To top

The -iL option allows you to read the list of target systems using a text file. This is useful to scan a large number of hosts/networks. For example, create a text file as follows using the cat command:

cat > /tmp/test.txt
Append host names, CIDRs or IP address names as follows:

server1.cyberciti.biz
192.168.1.0/24
192.168.1.1/24
10.1.2.3
localhost

Press the CTRL+D to save the file. Now, the syntax is as follows:

nmap -iL /tmp/test.txt

The above nmap example will scan server1.cyberciti.biz, and given CIDRs and the scan might take some time.

To top

When scanning a large number of hosts/networks you can exclude hosts from a scan. For examples:

nmap 192.168.1.0/24 --exclude 192.168.1.5
nmap 192.168.1.0/24 --exclude 192.168.1.5,192.168.1.254

OR exclude list from a file called /tmp/exclude.txt

nmap -iL /tmp/scanlist.txt --excludefile /tmp/exclude.txt

To top

Run the following command

nmap -A 192.168.1.254
nmap -v -A 192.168.1.1
nmap -A -iL /tmp/scanlist.txt 

To top

## nmap command examples for your host ##
nmap -sA 192.168.1.254
nmap -sA server1.cyberciti.biz

To top

In this Nmap command examples we are going to scan a router/wifi device having 192.168.1.1 as IP:

nmap -PN 192.168.1.1
nmap -PN server1.cyberciti.biz

To top

The -6 option enable IPv6 scanning with the namp command. The syntax is:

nmap -6 IPv6-Address-Here
nmap -6 server1.cyberciti.biz
nmap -6 2607:f0d0:1002:51::4
nmap -v A -6 2607:f0d0:1002:51::4

This is known as host discovery or ping scan. Try the followin nmap examples:

nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24

Here is how it looks:

Host 192.168.1.1 is up (0.00035s latency).

In this example, I am going to use nmap to scan TCP or UDP ports. You can find a list of all services and ports in the /etc/services file. For example:

more /etc/services
Now try the following nample examples to prob for TCP port 80 and others:

nmap -p [port] hostName
## Scan port 80
nmap -p 80 192.168.1.1
 
## Scan TCP port 80
nmap -p T:80 192.168.1.1
 
## Scan UDP port 53
nmap -p U:53 192.168.1.1
 
## Scan two ports ##
nmap -p 80,443 192.168.1.1
 
## Scan port ranges ##

Most popular services on the Internet run over the TCP protocol. DNS, SNMP, and DHCP are three of the most common UDP services. Use the following syntax to find out UDP services:

This type of scan allows you to determine which IP protocols (TCP, ICMP, IGMP, etc.) are supported by target machines:

nmap -sO 192.168.1.1

The following scan types exploit a subtle loophole in the TCP and good for testing security of common attacks:

## TCP Null Scan to fool a firewall to generate a response ##
## Does not set any bits (TCP flag header is 0) ##
nmap -sN 192.168.1.254
 
## TCP Fin scan to check firewall ##
## Sets just the TCP FIN bit ##
nmap -sF 192.168.1.254
 
## TCP Xmas scan to check firewall ##
## Sets the FIN, PSH, and URG flags, lighting the packet up like a Christmas tree ##
nmap -sX 192.168.1.254

See how to block Xmas packkets, syn-floods and other conman attacks with iptables.

The -f option causes the requested scan (including ping scans) to use tiny fragmented IP packets. The idea is to split up the TCP header over
several packets to make it harder for packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and other annoyances to detect what you are doing.

nmap -f 192.168.1.1
nmap -f fw2.nixcraft.net.in
nmap -f 15 fw2.nixcraft.net.in

## Set your own offset size with the --mtu option ##
nmap --mtu 32 192.168.1.1

The -D option it appear to the remote host that the host(s) you specify as decoys are scanning the target network too. Thus their IDS might report 5-10 port scans from unique IP addresses, but they won’t know which IP was scanning them and which were innocent decoys:

nmap -n -Ddecoy-ip1,decoy-ip2,your-own-ip,decoy-ip3,decoy-ip4 remote-host-ip
nmap -n -D192.168.1.5,10.5.1.2,172.1.2.4,3.4.2.1 192.168.1.5

Type the following command:

### Spoof your MAC address ##
nmap --spoof-mac MAC-ADDRESS-HERE 192.168.1.1
 
### Add other options ###
nmap -v -sT -PN --spoof-mac MAC-ADDRESS-HERE 192.168.1.1
 
 
### Use a random MAC address ###
### The number 0, means nmap chooses a completely random MAC address ###
nmap -v -sT -PN --spoof-mac 0 192.168.1.1

The syntax is as follows:

nmap 192.168.1.1 > output.txt
nmap -oN /path/to/filename 192.168.1.1
nmap -oN output.txt 192.168.1.1

The use the more/cat/less or bat command as follows:
less output.txt

In this namp examples, I am going to use the Nikto:
nmap -p80 192.168.1.2/24 -oG - | /path/to/nikto.pl -h -
nmap -p80,443 192.168.1.2/24 -oG - | /path/to/nikto.pl -h -

nmap -v -sS -A -T4 192.168.2.5

So far, we have seen Nmap command examples using the Linux and Unix command-line options. However, not everyone is super comfortable with the CLI. Hence, we can use the GUI app named Zenmap, which is the official network mapper front end/GUI tool:

Zenmap is the official Nmap Security Scanner GUI. It is a multi-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, BSD, etc.) free and open source application which aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while providing advanced features for experienced Nmap users. Frequently used scans can be saved as profiles to make them easy to run repeatedly. A command creator allows interactive creation of Nmap command lines. Scan results can be saved and viewed later. Saved scan results can be compared with one another to see how they differ. The results of recent scans are stored in a searchable database.

You can install zenmap using the following apt-get command or apt command:
$ sudo apt-get install zenmap
