nmap [ network mapper ] - A powerful network mapping n scanning software.

Nmap is a powerful network scanner which allows you to discover host, their operating system, scan their ports and many more tasks on a network. The software was originally written by Gordon Lyon (also known by his pseudonym Fyodor Vaskovich) used to discover hosts and services on a computer network. It is generally used as  a command line interface [ CLI ] but also support graphic user interface [ GUI ]. But mostly people would love to use it as a command line interface rather than using the GUI. It is a very powerful tool which you will surely feel while using it. So what are you waiting for ? Go visit Fyodor's website where there are detailed information and guides on how to use the nmap scanner. You can also download the software through the website.   

Do use the software with care.
