This project utilizes Nmap (Network Mapper) to scan a target network or system for open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities. The goal is to analyze the security posture of the system and suggest remediation strategies.
- Performs deep network scanning using Nmap
- Detects open ports and running services
- Identifies security vulnerabilities using NSE scripts
- Generates detailed scan reports
- Provides security recommendations
Ensure you have Nmap installed on your system:
sudo apt install nmap # Debian-based
sudo dnf install nmap # Fedora-based
brew install nmap # macOSDownload and install Nmap from nmap.org.
nmap <target-ip>nmap --script=vuln <target-ip>nmap -A -p- -oN scan_results.txt <target-ip>nmap -iL targets.txt -oN scan_results.txt- Open Ports: Services running on the system
- Service Detection: Identifies running software
- Vulnerabilities: Lists potential security risks
- Close unnecessary ports
- Update outdated software/services
- Implement firewalls and access controls
- Regularly monitor network activity
If you find a vulnerability, report it responsibly to the system owner or administrator.
