Vulnerability Scanning with Nmap : Network Scanning
Overview: In this Coursera guided project I have conducted a comprehensive exploration of network security using Nmap, starting with a basic scan on authorized target to monitor for vulnerabilities. Progressed to more advanced scans by leveraging Nmap options for accurate and efficient results. Finally, enhanced the usability of scanned data by implementing options to output results to files, enabling later analysis and assessment of network and system security. Nmap Introduction: Nmap, short for "Network Mapper," is a powerful open-source tool used for network exploration and security auditing. It allows users to discover hosts and services on a computer network, creating a map of the network's structure. Nmap operates by sending packets to target hosts and analyzing the responses to provide information about open ports, services running, and potential vulnerabilities. Widely used by security professionals and network administrators, Nmap offers a range of options for...
