Project

Network Reconnaissance and Port Scanning using nmap


1. Finding the IP Address of the Target:
 Executing the following command in the terminal: ifconfig.
• Looking for the IP address associated with the network
interface of the Metasploitable2 VM

2. Host Discovery : nmap -sn 172.17.0.1


3. Perform a Basic nmap Host Discovery Scan:
• In the Kali Linux terminal, execute the command nmap –st

• This command will perform a basic host discovery scan on the target IP
address to check if it's up or down.

Perform a nmap TCP Port Scan:

 In the Kali Linux terminal, executing the command

 $ sudo nmap -sT TARGET

 $ sudo nmap -sS TARGET

 This command will perform a TCP port scan on all ports of


the Metasploitable2 VM (172.17.0.1).

4. Perform a nmap UDP Port Scan


 In the Kali Linux terminal, executing the command nmap -sU
172.17.0.1.

 This command will perform a UDP port scan on the


Metasploitable2 VM (172.17.0.1).
5. Perform a nmap OS Detection Scan:
 In the Kali Linux terminal, executing the command nmap -O
172.17.0.1.

 This command will perform an OS detection scan on the


Metasploitable2 VM (172.17.0.1) to determine the operating
system.
6. Perform a nmap Version and Service Scan:
 In the Kali Linux terminal, executing the command nmap -
sV 172.17.0.1.

 This command will perform a version and service scan on


the Metasploitable2 VM (172.17.0.1) to determine the
versions of services running on open ports.
7. Perform a nmap Scan with the -A Option:
 In the Kali Linux terminal, executing the command nmap -A
172.17.0.1.

 This command will perform a comprehensive scan on the


Metasploitable2 VM (172.17.0.1) using the -A option, which
includes OS detection, version detection, script scanning,
and traceroute.
