NAME

   zenmap - Graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer

SYNOPSIS

   zenmap [options] [results file]

DESCRIPTION

   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 https://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html. Other documentation and
   information is available from the Zenmap web page at
   https://nmap.org/zenmap/.

OPTIONS SUMMARY

   -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, --help
       Show 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, --verbose
       Increase 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.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

   ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT
       Set ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT to disable automatic crash reporting.

BUGS

   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 https://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.

HISTORY

   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.

Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
