Map your network with Zenmap

Nmap is one of the most useful network discovery tools you will ever use. Nmap allows you to explore networks of any size to determine the following information:

• Port details
• Host details
• State
• Service
• Devices
• Addresses
• and much, much more

Nmap is one of those applications you will need to open anytime you see issues on your network, need to get information about hosts, track down an IP address, etc. Nmap is flexible, powerful, deployed all over the world (it is in the top 10 programs on Freshmeat), easy to use, well documented, cross platform (Linux, OS X, and Windows ) and (best of all) FREE!
But Nmap is a commmand-line only tool. Most users don't want to monkey with the command line. Fortunately there are plenty of front-end tools for command line equivalents. For Nmap you can use the user-friend Zenmap. And how can you get up to speed quickly with Zenmap? Easy…you read this tutorial on how to run a scan on your entire LAN and then read the results.
