Perform an experiment for Port Scanning with nmap, superscan or any other
equivalent software
Aim: To Perform an experiment for Port Scanning with nmap, superscan or any other
equivalent software
Objectives:
Port scanning:
Port scanning or scanning is when intruders collect information on the
network services on a target network. Here, the intruder attempts to find open ports on the
target system.
Zenmap/Nmap:
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network exploration or
security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as
network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime.
Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what
services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS
versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other
characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts.
Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for
Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Nmap is executable in classic command-line and an advanced
GUI results viewer Nmap can recognise five port states such as: Closed,Filtered, Unfiltered, Open-
filtered and Closed-Filtered.
Procedure:
3. By agreeing the license agreement, by selecting components and choose the location
7. On the Zenmap Window in target option enter the targeted website URL.
8. On the profile bar select Intense Scan option.
9. After scanning, it will list the number of ports, types of ports, Protocol used, Service
offered by the ports, Status of port, version of Software using by port etc.,
10. Go to file menu select save option to save these information in some files.
