SANS Pen Test Cheat Sheet: Nmap v1.1

October 8, 2013

Whenever we attend information security conferences like DerbyCon, ShmooCon, or any of the many BSides we support, we always take SANS Pen Test Cheat Sheets with us and everyone that comes by the booth takes a few for themselves and their colleagues back at the office.

So... we have made them available for you to download, print, and share with others.

Ed Skoudis and the fine folks at Counter Hack have put together a nifty Nmap cheat sheet covering some of the most useful options of everyone's favorite general-purpose port scanner, Nmap. And, with its scripting engine, Nmap can do all kinds of wonderful things for security professionals.

Please check out the updated cheat sheet below. Even if you are an experienced attacker, it might cover a tip or trick that's new and useful to you.

Learn how to use Nmap and penetration testing methods, techniques, and tools in SANS SEC560: Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking.
