Nmap

Network discovery and security auditing scanner

About Nmap

Nmap is a network scanner used to discover hosts and services on a network and to audit the security of systems and firewalls. It is typically installed on Linux servers or containers and administered through configuration files, a CLI, or a built-in web interface. It also plays well alongside other self-hosted tools, since open interfaces and standard protocols make integrations and automation much easier to build.
