About this course
This course teaches you how to work in Nmap – a powerful open-source network security tool. Nmap is the de facto standard for network mapping and port scanning and allows network administrators to discover hosts and services on a computer network, and create a map of the network.

This tutorial is designed for people who want to learn more about Nmap – what it is used for, how to use Nmap to scan your network for open ports, how to interpret scan results, and such.
Prerequisites
The course is written for people with some experience in the world of networking. You should also have a basic understanding of Linux, since we will use a Linux distribution called Kali Linux for the examples in the course.
What you’ll learn
You will learn how to download and install Nmap on your Windows or Linux system. You will learn how to start an Nmap scan and interpret its results. We will also guide you through some more advanced Nmap usage, such as scanning UDP ports, adjusting delays between scans and such.

Very Good prepared and to commend to other learners.
Good course!
Course is easy to follow and gives basics of NMAP.
Pretty good Nmap tutorial, for beginners. If you know your network protocols, you can probably get the same amount of useful information printing one of the myriad Nmap cheatsheets. I would have liked less trivial info (like installing) and more on advanced stuff, mainly Nmap scripting. Nevertheless, a quick and fun primer on Nmap.

I cant find words to describe how awesome is this course. Thank you!!
This is my first course I have done on nmap. It’s quite easy to follow from start to end. I always had a fear that nmap might be too hard to understand. But this course actually removed the fear of nmap from my mind. I liked the idea of presenting the materials in small easy to follow units. Thanks so much for providing such an interesting course for free.
This is a very useful step by step guide for all.

A good introduction to nmap.
Nmap
I loved the course. Very basic and straight to the point but helpful if you are a newbie trying to understand all the offsets for NMAP.
I did however see something I think is a typo.
In The Save Nmap’s output chapter it says
“root@kali:~# nmap -p21,22,80,135 -oX results.xml 192.168.5.102 root@kali:~# cat results.txt”
It seem you are dumping the scan results to results.xml and then reading it from results.txt?
Am I wrong or am I missing something here?
