NAME

6       zenmap - Graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer
7

SYNOPSIS

9       zenmap [options] [results file]
10

DESCRIPTION

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
21       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/.

OPTIONS SUMMARY

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
33       -h, --help
34           Show a help message and exit.
35
36       -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
43       -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
48       -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
52       -v, --verbose
53           Increase verbosity (of Zenmap, not Nmap). This option may be given
54           multiple times to get even more verbosity.
55
56       Any other arguments are taken to be the names of results files to open.
57

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

59       ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT
60           Set ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT to disable automatic crash reporting.
61

BUGS

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 nmap-dev@insecure.org.
71       Please include everything you have learned about the problem, as well
72       as what version of Zenmap you are running and what operating system
73       version it is running on. Problem reports and Zenmap usage questions
74       sent to nmap-dev@insecure.org are far more likely to be answered than
75       those sent to Fyodor directly.
76
77       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 http://nmap.org/data/HACKING. Patches may be sent to nmap-dev
80       (recommended) or to Fyodor directly.

HISTORY

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.
