9 zenmap [options] [results file]
10
12 Zenmap is a multi-platform graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer.
13 Zenmap aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while giving
14 experienced Nmap users advanced features. Frequently used scans can be
15 saved as profiles to make them easy to run repeatedly. A command
16 creator allows interactive creation of Nmap command lines. Scan results
17 can be saved and viewed later. Saved scan results can be compared with
18 one another to see how they differ. The results of recent scans are
19 stored in a searchable database.
20 This man page only describes the few Zenmap command-line options and
22 some critical notes. A much more detailed Zenmap User's Guide is
23 available at http://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html. Other documentation and
24 information is available from the Zenmap web page at
25 http://nmap.org/zenmap/.
26
28 -f, --file results file
29 Open the given results file for viewing. The results file may be an
30 Nmap XML output file (.xml, as produced by nmap -oX) or a Umit scan
31 results file (.usr). This option may be given more than once.
32 -h, --help
34 Show a help message and exit.
35 -n, --nmap Nmap command line
37 Run the given Nmap command within the Zenmap interface. After -n or
38 --nmap, every remaining command line argument is read as the
39 command line to execute. This means that -n or --nmap must be given
40 last, after any other options. Note that the command line must
41 include the nmap executable name: zenmap -n nmap -sS target.
42 -p, --profile profile
44 Start with the given profile selected. The profile name is just a
45 string: "Regular scan". If combined with -t, begin a scan with the
46 given profile against the specified target.
47 -t, --target target
49 Start with the given target. If combined with -p, begin a scan with
50 the given profile against the specified target.
51 -v, --verbose
53 Increase verbosity (of Zenmap, not Nmap). This option may be given
54 multiple times to get even more verbosity.
55 Any other arguments are taken to be the names of results files to open.

59 ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT
60 Set ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT to disable automatic crash reporting.
61
63 Like their authors, Nmap and Zenmap aren’t perfect. But you can help
64 make them better by sending bug reports or even writing patches. If
65 Nmap or Zenmap doesn’t behave the way you expect, first upgrade to the
66 latest version available from http://nmap.org. If the problem persists,
67 do some research to determine whether it has already been discovered
68 and addressed. Try Googling the error message or browsing the nmap-dev
69 archives at http://seclists.org/. Read this full manual page as well.
70 If nothing comes of this, mail a bug report to <dev@nmap.org>. Please
71 include everything you have learned about the problem, as well as what
72 version of Zenmap you are running and what operating system version it
73 is running on. Problem reports and Zenmap usage questions sent to
74 dev@nmap.org are far more likely to be answered than those sent to
75 Fyodor directly.
76 Code patches to fix bugs are even better than bug reports. Basic
78 instructions for creating patch files with your changes are available
79 at https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/HACKING. Patches may be sent to nmap-dev
80 (recommended) or to Fyodor directly.

83 Zenmap was originally derived from Umit, an Nmap GUI created during the
84 Google-sponsored Nmap Summer of Code in 2005 and 2006. The primary
85 author of Umit was Adriano Monteiro Marques. When Umit was modified and
86 integrated into Nmap in 2007, it was renamed Zenmap.

89 Nmap
90 Fyodor <fyodor@nmap.org> (http://insecure.org)
91 Hundreds of people have made valuable contributions to Nmap over the
93 years. These are detailed in the CHANGELOG file which is distributed
94 with Nmap and also available from http://nmap.org/changelog.html.
95 Umit
97 Zenmap is derived from the Umit Nmap frontend, which was started by
98 Adriano Monteiro Marques as an Nmap/Google Summer of Code project
99 (<py.adriano@gmail.com>, http://www.umitproject.org).
