If I may, I like to poll the list what are your favorite switches when
using NMAP to conduct "intensive/comprehensive" security testing.
I have been using
NMAP -vv -A -sS -O -p1-65535 -P0 -oX target.xml www.xxx.yyy.zzz.
I find I got more information using -sS than -sT and requires short time.
Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.
I quite like nmap -sO -P0 to identify live hosts:
Host is down:
# nmap -sO -P0 192.168.100.1
Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-03-28 09:17 BST
All 256 scanned ports on 192.168.100.1 are: open|filtered
Host is up:
# nmap -sO -P0 192.168.100.2
Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-03-28 09:19 BST
Interesting protocols on box1 (192.168.100.2):
(The 253 protocols scanned but not shown below are in state: open|filtered)
PROTOCOL STATE SERVICE
1 open icmp
6 open tcp
17 filtered udp
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 33.960 seconds
