Nmap Security Scanner: From A Developer

  by Kris Katterjohn

Nmap is an essential tool in any network administrator's collection. I've been contributing to Nmap for over 2 years, and it's been a great experience because the people who help out are very smart and enthusiastic. This makes for great discussions and ideas, which often end up in Nmap proper.

My favorite new feature is NSE, the Nmap Scripting Engine. This lets users create and share scripts to be run against hosts, either as a whole ... [More] or on specific ports.

The Version Detection system is also one of my all-time favorites. This often tells great details about the services running on the target host.
