From port scanning basics for novices to the
type of packet crafting used by advanced hackers, this book by Nmap's
author and maintainer suits all levels of security and networking
professionals. Rather than simply document what every Nmap option
does, Nmap Network Scanning demonstrates how these features can be
applied to solve real world tasks such as penetration testing, taking
network inventory, detecting rogue wireless access points or open
proxies, quashing network worm and virus outbreaks, and much
more. Examples and diagrams show actual communication on the
wire. This book is essential for anyone who needs to get the most out
of Nmap, particularly security auditors and systems or network
administrators.
