---

#nmap is generally used to scan whether the host is online (especially scanning the surviving machines in the LAN) and which ports are open. Other functions are rarely used, and people who do penetration may need to know more about them.

1.1 Option Description

nmap needs to be installed by yourself.

shell> yum -y install nmap

Use nmap -h to view options and usage. There are a lot of options, which is the inevitable result of a powerful tool, but few of them are easy to use.

Usage: nmap [Scan Type(s)] [Options] {target specification}

TARGET SPECIFICATION:

1.2 尝试一次扫描

nmap扫描一般会比较慢，特别是扫描非本机的时候。

[root@server2 ~]# nmap 127.0.0.1Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2017-06-20 13:03 CSTNmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
Host is up (0.0000010s latency).
Not shown: 998 closed ports
PORT   STATE SERVICE22/tcp open  ssh25/tcp open  smtp

只扫描出了两个端口，但是不代表真的只开了两个端口，这样不加任何参数的nmap将自动决定扫描1000个高危端口，但哪些是高危端口由nmap决定。从结果中也能看出来，"NOT shown:998 closed ports"表示998个关闭的端口未显示出来，随后又显示了2个open端口，正好1000个。虽说默认只扫描1000个，但常见的端口都能扫描出来。

从虚拟机扫描win主机看看。可以感受到，扫描速度明显降低了。

[root@server2 ~]# nmap 192.168.0.122
 Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2017-06-20 13:11 CSTNmap scan report for 192.168.0.122Host is up (1.2s latency).

PORT     STATE    SERVICE21/tcp   open     ftp135/tcp  open     msrpc139/tcp  open     netbios-ssn443/tcp  open     https445/tcp  open     microsoft-ds514/tcp  filtered shell902/tcp  open     iss-realsecure912/tcp  open     apex-mesh1583/tcp open     simbaexpress5357/tcp open     wsdapi
 
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 8.38 seconds

可以指定"-p [1-65535]"来扫描所有端口，或者使用"-p-"选项也是全面扫描。

[root@xuexi ~]# nmap -p- 127.0.0.1

nmap默认总是会扫描端口，可以使用-sn选项禁止扫描端口，以加速扫描主机是否存活。

1.3 扫描目标说明

Nmap支持CIDR风格的地址，Nmap将会扫描所有和该参考IP地址具有相同cidr位数的所有IP地址或主机。

例如192.168.10.0/24将扫描192.168.10.0和192.168.10.255之间的256台主机，192.168.10.40/24会做同样的事情。假设主机scanme.nmap.org的IP地址是205.217.153.62，scanme.nmap.org/16将扫描205.217.0.0和205.217.255.255之间的65536个IP地址。掩码位所允许的最小值是/1，这将会扫描半个互联网，最大值是/32，这将会扫描该主机或IP地址，因为所有主机位都固定了。

CIDR标志位很简洁但有时候不够灵活。例如也许想要扫描192.168.0.0/16，但略过任何以".0"或者".255"结束的IP地址，因为它们通常是网段地址或广播地址。可以用逗号分开的数字或范围列表为IP地址指定它的范围。例如"192.168.0-255.1-254"将略过该范围内以".0"和".255"结束的地址。范围不必限于最后的8位："0-255.0-255.13.37"将在整个互联网范围内扫描所有以"13.37"结束的地址。

Nmap命令行接受多个主机说明，它们不必是相同类型。如：

nmap www.hostname.com 192.168.0.0/8 10.0.0,1,3-7.0-255

虽然目标通常在命令行指定，下列选项也可用来控制目标的选择：

• -iL (从列表中输入)

从中读取目标说明。在命令行输入一堆主机名显得很笨拙，然而经常需要这样。例如DHCP服务器可能导出10000个当前租约列表。列表中的项可以是Nmap在命令行上接受的任何格式(IP地址，主机名，CIDR，IPv6，或者八位字节范围)。每一项必须以一个或多个空格、制表符或换行符分开。如果希望Nmap从标准输入读取列表，则使用"-"作为表示/dev/stdin。

• --exclude (排除主机/网络)

• --excludefile (排除文件中的列表)，这和--exclude的功能一样，只是所排除的目标是用提供的。

1.3.1 范围扫描示例

指定一个IP地址然后加一个CIDR的掩码位，如192.168.100.22/24，当然写成192.168.100.0/24也是一样的，因为nmap需要的是参考IP。如果扫描的是范围地址，可以192.168.100.1-254这样的书写方式。

[root@xuexi ~]# nmap 192.168.100.1/24

Generally speaking, it is probably not the computer that has all the ports closed, but it may be the router, virtual network card and other devices.

1.4 Port Status Description

Nmap has more and more functions, but what it is famous for is its core function-port scanning.

Nmap divides ports into six states: open (open), closed (closed), filtered (filtered), unfiltered (unfiltered), open|filtered (open or filtered) ), or closed|filtered (closed or filtered).

These states are not properties of the ports themselves, but describe how Nmap views them. For example, for the same target machine's 135/tcp port, scanning from the same network shows that it is open, but doing the exact same scan across the network may show that it is filtered.

• 1.open: (Open) The application is receiving TCP or UDP packets on this port. It is often the primary target for port scans.

• 2.closed: (Closed) A closed port is also accessible to Nmap (it accepts Nmap's detection messages and responds), but no application is listening on it. .

• 3.filtered: (Filtered) Because packet filtering (such as a firewall device) is set up on the target, detection packets are blocked from reaching the port, and Nmap cannot determine whether the port is open. . Filtering may come from specialized firewall devices, router rules, or software firewalls on the host.

• 4.unfiltered: The unfiltered status means that the port is accessible, but Nmap cannot determine whether it is open or closed. Scanning these unfiltered ports with other types of scans such as window scans, SYN scans, and FIN scans can help determine whether the port is open.

• 5.open|filtered: (open or filtered): When it is impossible to determine whether a port is open or filtered, Nmap divides the port into this state. An open port not responding is an example. No response may also mean that the packet filter on the target host discarded the probe packet or any response it caused. Therefore Nmap cannot determine whether the port is open or filtered.

• 6.closed|filtered: (closed or filtered) This status is used when Nmap cannot determine whether the port is closed or filtered. It may only appear in IPID Idle scans.

1.5 Time parameter optimization

Techniques to improve scan time include: ignoring non-critical detections, upgrading to the latest version of Nmap( The document says that the higher the nmap version, the better the performance) etc. In addition, optimizing the time parameters will also bring substantial optimizations. These parameters are as follows:

TIMING AND PERFORMANCE:

-T<0-5>: Set timing template (higher is faster)

## --min-hostgroup/max-hostgroup : Parallel host scan group sizes

--min-parallelism/max-parallelism : Probe parallelization

--min-rtt-timeout/max-rtt -timeout/initial-rtt-timeout : Specifies probe round trip time.

--max-retries : Caps number of port scan probe retransmissions.

- -host-timeout : Give up on target after this long

--scan-delay/--max-scan-delay : Adjust delay between probes

--min-rate : Send packets no slower than per second

--max-rate : Send packets no faster than per second

The most important of them are the first three:

1.-T<0-5>: This means directly using the scanning template provided by namp. Different templates are suitable for different environments. Below, the default template is "-T 3". Please refer to the man document for details. It is rarely practical.

2.--min-hostgroup ; --max-hostgroup (Adjust the size of the parallel scan group)

Nmap has the ability to scan multiple host ports in parallel by spatially dividing all given target IPs into groups and then scanning one group at a time. Generally, the larger the component, the higher the efficiency, but the disadvantage of grouping is that the scan results of the hosts in the group will only be returned after the entire group scan is completed. For example, if the group size is defined as 50, the results within these 50 IPs can only be obtained after the first 50 host scans are completed.

默认方式下，Nmap采取折衷的方法。开始扫描时的组较小，默认值为5，这样便于尽快产生结果，随后增长组的大小，默认最大为1024。但最小和最大确切的值则依赖于所给定的选项。

--max-hostgroup选项用于说明使用最大的组，Nmap不会超出这个大小。--min-hostgroup选项说明最小的组，Nmap会保持组大于这个值。如果在指定的接口上没有足够的目标主机来满足所指定的最小值，Nmap可能会采用比所指定的值小的组。

这些选项的主要用途是说明一个最小组的大小，使得整个扫描更加快速。通常选择256来扫描C类网段，对于端口数较多的扫描，超出该值没有意义，因为它只是分组了，但是cpu资源是有限的。对于端口数较少的扫描，2048或更大的组大小是有帮助的。

3.--min-parallelism ; --max-parallelism (调整探测报文的并行度，即探针数)

这些选项用于控制主机组的探测报文数量，可用于端口扫描和主机发现。默认状态下，Nmap基于网络性能计算一个理想的并行度，这个值经常改变。如果报文被丢弃，Nmap降低速度，探测报文数量减少。随着网络性能的改善，理想的探测报文数量会缓慢增加。默认状态下，当网络不可靠时，理想的并行度值可能为1，在好的条件下，可能会增长至几百。

最常见的应用是--min-parallelism值大于1，以加快性能不佳的主机或网络的扫描。这个选项具有风险，如果过高则影响准确度，同时也会降低Nmap基于网络条件动态控制并行度的能力。

一般说来，这个值要设置的和--min-hostgroup的值相等或大于它性能才会提升。

1.6 扫描操作系统类型

扫描操作系统。操作系统的扫描有可能会出现误报。

1.7 快速扫描存活的主机

要快速扫描存活的主机，需要使用的几个重要选项是：

-n：永远不要DNS解析。这个不管是给定地址扫描还是给定网址扫描，加上它速度都会极速提升

-sn：禁止端口扫描

-PE：只根据echo回显判断主机在线，这种类型的选项使用越多，速度越慢，如-PM -PP选项都是类似的，但他们速度要慢的多的多，PE有个缺点，不能穿透防火墙

--min-hostgroup N：当IP太多时，nmap需要分组，然后并扫描，使用该选项可以指定多少个IP一组

--min-parallelism N：这个参数非常关键，为了充分利用系统和网络资源，设置好合理的探针数。一般来说，设置的越大速度越快，且和min-hostgroup的值相等或大于它性能才会提升

255个局域网地址只用了半秒钟。可谓是极速。

再测试扫描下以www.baidu.com作为参考地址的地址空间。

[root@server2 ~]# nmap -sn -PE -n --min-hostgroup 1024 --min-parallelism 1024 -oX nmap_output.xml www.baidu.com/16…….省略部分结果

Nmap done: 65536 IP addresses (144 hosts up) scanned in 19.15 seconds

可以看到，65535个地址只需19秒就扫描完成了。速度是相当的快。

1.8 快速扫描端口

既然是扫描端口，就不能使用-sn选项，也不能使用-PE，否则不会返回端口状态，只会返回哪些主机。
