LEARN NMAP in 90 SECONDS 🌐 Nmap: A tool used to discover devices on a network and identify which ports and services they have open. USED TO SCAN A NETWORK FOR OPEN PORTS AND LIVE DEVICES CONNECTED TO THE NETWORK. Summoning jutsu... NMAP!!! Flag: A short modifier added to a command to change its behavior or enable specific features. DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT HERE ARE THE MOST COMMON ONES. nmap -sV <target>: Identifies versions of services running on ports. SHOWS THE SERVICE AND VERSION. FOR EXAMPLE, ARE THEY USING S SH TTP, ETCETERA. nmap -O <target>: Attempts to identify the target's operating system. DASH O TRIES TO FIND THE TARGETS OPERATING SYSTEM. nmap -F <target>: Scans the 100 most common ports. DASH F STANDS FOR THE TOP 100 MOST COMMON PORTS. nmap -p <target>: Scans all 65,535 ports. DASH P DASH P SCANS FOR ALL 65,000 PORTS. AND DASH O N SAVES THE OUTPUT TO A FILE. OUTPUT INTO OUTPUT DOT TXD THAT IT'S SCANNING IS THIS I P ADDRESS. RUN IT, IT WILL START SCANNING? IT MIGHT TAKE AS YOU CAN SEE, HERE IT IS. IT LOOKS KINDA COMPLICATED, JUST READ WHAT IT SAYS. IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE. RIGHT HERE, PORTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY OPEN, AND SINCE WE PUT DASH S V, YOU COULD SEE THE SERVICE AND THE VERSION RIGHT HERE. AND IF I THE SCAN AGAIN, TO LS, FIND THE FILE, AND THEN JUST OPEN THE FILE: YOU SHOULD ONLY YOU HAVE EXPLICIT APPROVED! PERMISSION FROM THE TARGET. AND IF I BE A GOOD BOY, OR YOU COULD GET IN TROUBLE.

Transcript

Nmap is a tool that is used to scan a network for open ports and live devices connected to the network. To start using Nmap, you simply type in Nmap to call the tool. Now, Nmap has a bunch of flags that allows it to do different things, but here are the most common ones. Dash SV shows the service in version, for example, are they using SSH, HTTP, etc. Dash O tries to find the target operating system, Dash F scan for the top 100 most common ports. dash P dash P scans for all 65,000 ports. That's how many ports there are in total and dash O and saves the output to a file. So right now if I run this command, it'll try to find the service in version. It'll try to find the operating system. It'll scan for the top 100 most common ports. It'll put that output into output.txt and the target that it's scanning is this IP address. So if I run it, it will start scanning. It might take a minute, but as you can see, here it is. It looks kind of complicated, but if you just read what it says, it's pretty simple. If you look right here, these are the ports that are currently open, and since we put dash SV, you could see the service and you can see the version right here. If I scroll down, I could also see that it has a guess of what operating system it probably is. And if I want to look for the scan again, I can go to LS, find the file, and then just open the file. You should only do this if you have explicit permission from the target. So be a good boy or you could get in trouble.
