![]() This does not generates any additional traffic as mostlyįile /etc/services would be used to convert port numbers Numbers to service names, like 22 to ssh or 80 to http. Service names then we can use -nn to avoid converting of port If performance is issue or port numbers are preferred over May affect packet capture or generate significant DNS traffic. Heavy traffic links to avoid too many DNS lookups which This option is very important if we are capturing packets on Note by default it will choose lowest numbered interfaceĭo not convert IP address to hostnames via reverse DNS lookup.

Some important nmap command line options are explained below: man nmap can be used to get detailed information on each of the options available. nmap is well documented and we can use:Ĭommand without arguments to see various options supported by nmap and try each of them. One very versatile port scanning tool available for Linux (also works equally well with Windows) is nmap. An easy way to accomplish this is to port scan protected server from prospective client machines / potential attackers to check which ports are open. It is always good to verify after proper firewall (such as iptables) configuration has been done that only desired services are accessible from external users. ![]()
