Nmap 5.00 is Out

New features:

Ncat tool aims to be your Swiss Army Knife for data transfer, redirection, and debugging. We released a whole users' guide detailing security testing and network administration tasks made easy with Ncat.

The addition of the Ndiff scan comparison tool completes Nmap's growth into a whole suite of applications which work together to serve network administrators and security practitioners.

Nmap Network Scanning, the official Nmap guide to network discovery and security scanning. From explaining port scanning basics for novices to detailing low-level packet crafting methods used by advanced hackers, this book suits all levels of security and networking professionals. A 42-page reference guide documents every Nmap feature and option, while the rest of the book demonstrates how to apply those features to quickly solve real-world tasks. More than half the book is available in the free online edition.

The Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) is one of Nmap's most powerful and flexible features.

Tools: Nmap Book is Out

"After promising you a book on Nmap for years, I'm delighted to finally announce the release of Nmap Network Scanning! It contains everything I've learned about network scanning from more than a decade of Nmap development, plus some bad jokes and (over Time Warner's written objections) pictures of Trinity hacking the Matrix :)." - Fyodor
