Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

Aggressive and obtrusive Scan in Nmap?

A

Aggressive and obtrusive Scan

Not like the earlier commands this scan is very aggressive and very obtrusive. The option -A will tell nmap to perform OS checking and version checking. The -T4 is for the speed template, these templates are what tells nmap how quickly to perform the scan.

"$ nmap -T4 -A 0.0.0.0"

Q

How to Scan for all ports TCP and UDP in Nmap?

A

This command require a root privileges and it is the same as above however by specifying the full port range from 1 to 65535 nmap will scan to see if the host is listening on all available ports. You can use the port range specification on any scan that performs a port scan.

"# nmap -sS -sU -PN -p 1-65535 0.0.0.0"

Q

How to get the information and option to be available for the Nmap?

A

Get the information and option to be available for the Nmap, run the following command on the terminal, "sudo nmap --help" (or) "man nmap"

Q

I have a question regarding to nmap. Whenever I try to run nmap as a root, I get:

> Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.25 seconds

While it works just fine as a non-privileged user. Any ideas?

A

Nmap adapts its techniques to use the best available methods using the current privilege level, unless you explicitly request something different. The things that Nmap needs root (or sudo) privilege for on Linux are:

Sniffing network traffic with libpcap

Sending raw network traffic

Q

This is what I've tried (and a lot of other variations):

sudo nmap -sU -PE --ip-options "\x94\x04\x00\x00" 15.234.166.241

nmap man page says that "-PE" will send ICMP Echo Request, but all I see in the wireshark trace is TCP activity. How can do this?

A

nping had what I needed:

sudo nping -icmp -c 1 -icmp-type 8 --ip-options "\x94\x04\x00\x00" -dest-ip 192.168.1.5
