Fyodor's ShmooCon 2006 Nmap Presentation Video and Slides
Summary
Advanced Network Reconnaissance with Nmap
While many security practitioners use Nmap, few understand its full
power. Nmap deserves part of the blame for being too helpful. A simple
command such as “nmap scanme.insecure.org” leaves Nmap to choose the
scan type, timing details, target ports, output format, source ports
and addresses, and more. You can even specify -iR (random input) and
let Nmap choose the targets! Hiding all of these details makes Nmap
easy to use, but also easy to grow complacent with. Many people never
explore the hundreds of available options and scan techniques for more
powerful scanning.
In this 47 minute presentation, Nmap author Fyodor details advanced Nmap
usage—from clever hacks for teaching Nmap new tricks, to new and
undocumented features for bypassing firewalls, optimizing scan
performance, finding free porn, defeating intrusion detection systems,
and more. A special Shmoo version of Nmap was released at the
conference, though all the features discussed are now integrated with
official Nmap releases
