What is name and map is a network scanner utility used for both scanning cost discovery and vulnerability

00:06.750 --> 00:07.170
scanning.

00:07.650 --> 00:14.110
Most of its functions are based on using IP packet analysis to detect and identify remote hosts.

00:14.130 --> 00:22.530
Operating systems and services and is used by large companies as well as smaller size organizations

00:22.530 --> 00:27.270
for both auditing hosts, monitoring, penetration testing and similar tasks.

00:28.690 --> 00:34.960
Now, even with a map constantly being updated with the new features since decades, its core function

00:34.960 --> 00:41.680
remains as a body scanner, helping users gather data by sending packets to local or remote ports.

00:42.010 --> 00:48.340
This is done by waiting for backend responses to determine if ports are closed, open or filtered.

00:48.940 --> 00:55.930
The most popular method of using a map is via the terminal command line console by performing and map

00:55.930 --> 00:57.040
full scan command.

00:57.190 --> 01:01.210
Now, don't worry, we will handle all of that in the hand zone in this course.
