ensure you are using the latest version before reporting that a
feature doesn't work as described. |
Zenmap is a multi-platform graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer.
Zenmap aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while giving experienced
Nmap users advanced features. Frequently used scans can be saved as profiles
to make them easy to run repeatedly. A command creator allows interactive
creation of Nmap command lines. Scan results can be saved and viewed later.
Saved scan results can be compared with one another to see how they differ.
The results of recent scans are stored in a searchable database.
This man page only describes the few Zenmap command-line options and some critical notes. A much more detailed Zenmap User's Guide is available at http://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html. Other documentation and information is available from the Zenmap web page at http://nmap.org/zenmap/.
-f, --file <results file>Open the given results file for viewing. The results file may be
an Nmap XML output file (.xml, as produced by
nmap -oX) or a Umit scan results file
(.usr). This option may be given more than
once.
-h, --helpShow a help message and exit.
-n, --nmap <Nmap command line>Run the given Nmap command within the Zenmap interface. After
-n or --nmap, every remaining
command line argument is read as the command line to execute. This
means that -n or --nmap must be
given last, after any other options. Note that the command line must
include the nmap executable name: zenmap
-n nmap -sS target.
-p, --profile <profile>Start with the given profile selected. The profile name is just
a string: "Regular scan". If combined with
-t, begin a scan with the given profile against the
specified target.
-t, --target <target>Start with the given target. If combined with
-p, begin a scan with the given profile against the
specified target.
-v, --verboseIncrease verbosity (of Zenmap, not Nmap). This option may be
given multiple times to get even more verbosity.
Any other arguments are taken to be the names of results files to
open.
ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENTSet ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT to disable automatic
crash reporting.
Like their authors, Nmap and Zenmap aren’t perfect. But you can
help make them better by sending bug reports or even writing patches. If
Nmap or Zenmap doesn’t behave the way you expect, first upgrade to the
latest version available from http://nmap.org. If
the problem persists, do some research to determine whether it has already
been discovered and addressed. Try Googling the error message or browsing
the nmap-dev archives at http://seclists.org/.
Read this
full manual page as well. If nothing comes of this, mail a bug report to
<dev@nmap.org>. Please include everything you have
learned about the problem, as well as what version of Zenmap you are running
and what operating system version it is running on. Problem reports and
Zenmap usage questions sent to dev@nmap.org are far more likely to
be answered than those sent to Fyodor directly.
Code patches to fix bugs are even better than bug reports. Basic
instructions for creating patch files with your changes are available at
https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/HACKING. Patches may be sent
to nmap-dev (recommended) or to Fyodor directly.
Zenmap was originally derived from Umit, an Nmap GUI created
during the Google-sponsored Nmap Summer of Code in 2005 and 2006.
The primary author of Umit was Adriano Monteiro Marques. When
Umit was modified and integrated into Nmap in 2007, it was renamed
Zenmap.
