Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Nmap Network Scanning is the official guide to the Nmap Security Scanner, a free and open source utility used by millions of people for network discovery, administration, and security auditing. From explaining port scanning basics for novices to detailing low-level packet crafting methods used by advanced hackers, this book suits all levels of security and networking professionals. A 42-page reference guide documents every Nmap feature and option, while the rest of the book demonstrates how to apply those features to quickly solve real-world tasks. Examples and diagrams show actual communication on the wire. Topics include subverting firewalls and intrusion detection systems, optimizing Nmap performance, and automating common networking tasks with the Nmap Scripting Engine. Hints and instructions are provided for common uses such as taking network inventory, penetration testing, detecting rogue wireless access points, and quashing network worm outbreaks. Nmap runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Nmap's original author, Gordon "Fyodor" Lyon, wrote this book to share everything he has learned about network scanning during more than 11 years of Nmap development.

• Must Have
12 February, 2010
If you are serious about Security scanning this is the book to have. Most of the information is online at [...] The big difference is the book provides more information with different scenarios of why and when you do different scans. I learned more things that I can do in the book that I missed reading online.

• There Simply Isn't A Better Guide
18 January, 2010
NMAP is a powerful tool even in its most basic usage. I knew it was capable of a lot more than the preconfigured scans Zenmap GUI provides, but I had no idea the depth of the product. While "Fyodor" provides a lot of documentation online at the NMAP web site, the book definitely goes above and beyond.
If you're looking at doing network analysis, this book is a must-read and inexpensive compared to most IT-field references.

• Good Book. Highly Technical.
25 January, 2010
This book covers all of Nmap's features in full detail. It's a good read for IT professionals who want to further their understanding of network scanning and security topics. It is a highly technical guide, so if you are looking for a simple introduction to Nmap you should start elsewhere and work your way up to this book.
