| | Nmap: A valuable open source tool for network security |
 | | Nmap (Network Mapper) Security Scanner, written by Fyodor and now up to version 4, provides a wide range of port-scanning techniques designed to rapidly scan networks, large and small, for network exploration and security auditing. |
 | | Nmap is a favorite hacker tool, so it makes sense to run your own scan and find open ports and see what information your network is leaking to potential attackers. |
 | | Port scanning with Nmap is a fast and effective way to identify which ports are open, what services are running on them and where weak spots exist in your defences. |
