Special Feature: HaXXXor Girls offer Nmap Training
Most people know that Nmap was demonstrated in the Matrix Reloaded. Nmap trivia buffs may also know that Nmap source code was displayed in the 2000 movie Battle Royale (
[Screen1]
[Screen2] [Trivia]). Lesser known is that it was featured in a 3rd movie after these two appearances. Nmap made the leap from Science Fiction to "hacker pr0n" with the release of HaXXXor Volume 1: No Longer Floppy. In a seven-minute chapter, the lovely E-Lita walks us through downloading, compiling, and executing Nmap while keeping our attention by methodically removing her clothing :).
You can buy the DVD (cover image) for $10 at conferences such as Defcon or from the HaXXXor Girls web site. It contains other chapters such as "Naked Dumpster Diving" and "Young Love (Of Government Encryption)". Fortunately, the producers have allowed us to post screen shots and even video clips of the entire Nmap scene! This way we don't have to violate copyright laws as we did with the Matrix :).
Here are some screenshots:
There are dozens of other screenshots, but they may NOT BE WORK SAFE, depending on how prudish your employer is. You can find them all here.
During the video, E-Lita explains how to perform a SYN scan and provides useful tips like:
"To do the coolest stuff, I'll need to be super user, because Nmap needs root to craft it's uber-elite raw packets"
"For a good time, I'm gonna scan an entire class C IP range!"
