Nmap is a security scanner originally written by Gordon Lyon (Fyodor). It may be used to discover computers and services on a computer network, thus creating a "map" of the network. Just like many simple port scanners, Nmap is capable of discovering passive services on a network despite the fact that such services aren't advertising themselves with a service discovery protocol. In addition Nmap may be able to determine various details about the remote computers. These include operating system, device type, uptime, software product used to run a service, exact version number of that product, presence of some firewall techniques and, on a local area network, even vendor of the remote network card.

Features
Nmap features include:
- Host Discovery - Identifying computers on a network, for example listing the computers which respond to pings, or which have a particular port open
- Port Scanning - Enumerating the open ports on one or more target computers
- Version Detection - Interrogating listening network services listening on remote computers to determine the application name and version number
- OS Detection - Remotely determining the operating system and some hardware characteristics of network devices.
Typical uses of Nmap:
- Auditing the security of a computer, by identifying the network connections which can be made to itFact: date=March 2008
- Identifying open ports on a target computer in preparation for auditing
- Network inventory, maintenance, and asset management

Graphical Interfaces
NmapFE, originally written by Zach Smith, was Nmap's official GUI for Nmap versions 2.2 to 4.22. For Nmap 4.50 (originally in the 4.22SOC development series) NmapFE was replaced with Zenmap, a new graphical user interface based on UMIT, developed by Adriano Monteiro Marques.
Various web-based interfaces have also been available for controlling Nmap remotely from a web browser. These include LOCALSCAN, nmap-web, and Nmap-CGI.
Also some Microsoft Windows specific GUIs exist. These include NMapWin, which has not been updated since v1.4.0 was released in June 2003, and NMapW by Syhunt.
